Book Review

This watery book immerses you. Every one of six dozen page spreads is an inviting watercolor over a wide range, profound or joking, dazzlingly evocative of nature or styled in direct allusion. There is always a fresh hand-lettered text. Few books are so single a work of art.

Its topic is life in the waters. A second theme is what people have made of what they found therein, their myths, food, and science.

...The fortunate reader might be any young person with the skill to read it, the patience to read slowly, and the desire to think about it all, probably twelve years or older.

~ Philip amd Phylis Morrison, Scientific American exerpt
