Sylvia Earle, acclaimed oceanographer and aquanaut, testified May 19 before the U.S. Congress Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure as an expert on the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill. Earle told the panel that “just about everybody on earth will be affected, one way or another, by the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.” Earle’s expertise on oil spills comes from her stint as Chief Scientist of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Agency responding to the Exxon Valdez and Mega Borg oil spills, as well as extensive involvement with evaluation of the environmental consequences of the 1990-1991 Persian Gulf spill.

“…all land masses are essentially islands on a planet dominated by water, and — perhaps most significantly — there is but one ocean.” page 282
Ocean: An Illustrated Atlas is guaranteed to heal one’s short attention span. Open it to any page and pour over the maps, diagrams, illustrations and photographs. Published by National Geographic, you know it’s a going to be informative and have the highest quality of photographs.
However it is more than an atlas, as it has the ocean’s past, present and future within its pages in countless articles throughout. Authors Sylvia A. Earle and Linda K. Glover traveled the world exploring the depths of the Earth’s oceans, the last frontier.
The ocean is the planet’s circulatory system, it is in harmony with the planet’s atmosphere which is also a fluid body. Within the body of our planetary ocean lies the bulk of our planet’s life forms.
Learning about the oceans of the world gives us a greater appreciation for all that it gives us in life. We will need to take better care of our oceans for our own survival and that of all the other animals and plants of the world.
This magnificent and comprehensive book belongs in the personal libraries of those with a genuine concern for our planet. Please consider purchasing this for your child or grandchild’s classroom or school library. It is a wonderful resource book to be shared.
