Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fine. 1st Edition. Fine condition heavy oversized (11 inches tall) foam green cloth boards with white front cover and spine lettering contained in a fine condition color photographic dust jacket. Includes Foreword by J. Michael Heyman; Introduction by Judith Gradwohl and Peter Benchley; About the Contributors; Acknowledgments and Credits. Profusely illustrated with both black-and-white and color photographs. "The vast and beautiful oceans cover more than two-thirds of the Earth's surface and provide ninety-nine percent of its living space. Through engaging readings, powerful photographs, and compelling facts, Ocean Planet explores the role that the oceans play in all of our lives, as a source of inspiration and spiritual well-being, as an environment that binds communities and even entire cultures, and as a place of natural wonders almost beyond the powers of the imagination to comprehend. Best-selling author Peter Benchley introduces these themes in lively essays that call upon his experiences as a writer, sailor, and diver. In these pages, writers, ocean scientists, conservationists, sailors, and fishermen speak eloquently about their connection to the sea. Rachel Carson celebrates the power of the ocean; Ann Davison, the first woman to sail alone across the Atlantic, relects on self-sufficiency; novelist Peter Matthiessen tells of the hard lives of fishermen; John McPhee evokes the dangers of the open sea; naturalist Wiilliam Beebe descends half a mile into the depths of the Atlantic in a small steel sphere and reports on what he sees; Jacques-Yves Cousteau takes the first dive with the newly invented Aqualung. These essays and recollections, and many others, are illustrated with photographs that convey the oceans' tremendous visual drama, from ships in heavy seas to rarely seen deep-sea life to teeming coral reefs. Also reproduced are artifacts that document human links with the oceans, including objects - from charms to survival gear - to ensure safety at sea. Sidebars list thought-provoking facts. All of this fantastic material has been carefully researched and assembled by Judith Gradwhol, curator of the Smithsonian Institution's exhibition "Ocean Planet" opening at the National Museum of Natural History, Washington, D.C. Ultimately, Ocean Planet empahsizes the importance of conservation. For as Benchley says, "We may love the sea or hate it; we may seek it out or fear it. But we all share one absolute imperative: we must treat the sea with respect. We cannot continue to use it as a dumping ground; we cannot continue to poison it; we cannot strip from it the life it produces and return to it only the waste we produce." Published on the twenty-fifth anniversary of Earth Day, Ociean Planet provides a vivid and unforgettable picture of the seas around us." - from the inner front jacket flap. …
