OCEANS: EXPLORING THE HIDDEN DEPTHS OF THE UNDERWATER WORLD

Book ID/图书代码： 11340008B21112

English Summary/英文概要： The oceans are the single most important feature of our planet. They shape our climate, our culture, our future. Yet we know more about the surface of Mars than we do about Earth’s watery depths.

What lies below the frozen Arctic ice-sheets? Or in the intriguing black holes under the Caribbean Sea? Drawing on the most exciting stories from the fields of sub-aquatic archaeology, geology, marine biology and anthropology, professional diver and explorer Paul Rose reveals an astonishing hidden world of lost cities, forgotten shipwrecks, underwater caves and submerged volcanoes. He also looks at life in the ocean habitat, from great white sharks to the myriad exotic, but rarely seen, creatures that thrive in the extreme conditions miles beneath the surface.

This book, like the landmark television series it accompanies, examines the possible consequences of upsetting this delicate balance and its impact on global warming. Beautifully illustrated with more than 150 colour photographs, Oceans: Exploring the Hidden Depths of the Underwater World unravels the mysteries of the deep and provides illuminating insights into this vast undersea domain.

The oceans and seas explored include the Mediterranean, the Sea of Cortez, the Indian Ocean, the Red Sea, the Southern Ocean and the Arctic Ocean.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 海洋是我们这个星球唯一一个最重要的地貌特征，它塑造了气候，孕育了文化，掌控着我们的未来。然而，我们对地球水域的了解却不及对火星表面的了解那样多。
万里冰封的北极冰山下隐藏着什么？让人魂牵梦绕的加勒比海下的黑洞里潜藏着什么秘密？专业潜水员和探险家保罗·罗斯利用水生生物考古学，地质学，海洋生物学，人类学等领域中的神奇故事，为我们揭开了一个不为人知的世界的神秘面纱——消逝的城市，被人遗忘的沉船残骸，水底洞穴，被淹没的火山。他也考察了海洋中的众多生物，从大白鲨到不计其数的奇异罕见的生物，它们可以在深达几百里的海底这样极端的环境下繁衍。
本书和与之相应的具有划时代意义的电视系列片一样，深入探究了打破海洋环境脆弱的生态平衡可能带来的后果及其对全球变暖的影响。《海洋：探索水底世界的秘密深度》揭开深海之谜，为研究广阔的海底世界创造了富有启发性的独特视角。另外，书中配有150多张彩色照片，使本书的介绍精彩纷呈。书中涉及的大洋和海洋有地中海，科特兹海，印度洋，红海，南海和北冰洋
