But as naturalist and artist Sophie Webb shows us, it is full of fascinating--yet difficult to study--life. Together with her shipmates, Sophie counts and collects samples of life in the deep ocean, from seabirds to dolphins, from winged fish to whales. Only their long-term field work can really help scientists determine the health of these remarkable creatures who need the clean deep ocean to survive.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>An engagingly direct way of communicating both the science....and how the science is discovered. -- <i>Kirkus</i> It is Webb's dual perspective, viewing the world simultaneously through the eyes of researcher and artist, that makes her accounts of nature so appealing. --<i>The Horn Book</i> Another fascinating expedition: .the you-are-there immediacy of the narrative-and the clear and colorful watercolor-and-gouache landscapes and drawings of the birds form an appealing travelogue that is as exciting as it is informative. --<i>School Library Journal</i>, starred review A good choice for children intrigued by marine biology.--<i>Booklist</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Sophie Webb</b> is often at sea and has traveled to many shores on research ships, including those of Hawaii, Mexico, Central and South America, Alaska, and the Antarctic.
