<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A <i>New York Times </i>bestseller, <i>Ocean </i>brings readers face-to-face with<i> </i>undulating creatues of the mysterious seas. Each full-color, moving image brings an animal to life using Photicular technology and is accompanied by a lively, informative essay.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>A <i>New York Times </i>bestseller, <i> Ocean</i> is like being on a dive. Using Photicular technology, each image is like a 3-D movie on the page, delivering a rich, fluid visual experience. Open the book, and the reader is swept into the magic of an underwater world, face-to-face with a floating Yellow-Banded Sweetlips; with a glow-in-the-dark Deep-Sea Anglerfish; with a Sea Horse swaying in balletic motion; with a Sand Tiger Shark gliding along the ocean floor, its gaze haunting, its hook-toothed mouth gulping open and closed. <p/> The text by Carol Kaufmann enchants with its descriptions of coral reefs; a journey on <i>Alvin</i>, the 17-ton submersible; and a meditation on our oceans. Then, for each creature, she writes a lively and informative essay, along with vital statistics--size, habitat, range, diet, and more. <p/> The Photicular process uses an innovative lenticular technology, sliding lenses, and original four-color video imagery. The result is like a movie in your hands--the dance of life in a book.</p> <br><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Showcasing stunning photographic images that ripple with movement, Dan Kainen fully immerses readers in a captivating underwater realm.
