Spanning from the arctic to the tropics, from large-scale views of Australia s barrier reef to close-up images of sea turtles, "Man and Sea" is a compelling, entirely unique journey through a fascinating world. Spectacular aerial images by Yann Arthus-Bertrand and striking underwater photographs by Brian Skerry offer a top-to-bottom tour of the world s oceans, while the enlightening text covers the sea s critical mechanisms, from currents to food chains. Inspiring interviews of some of the world s most respected researchers and activists also offer cutting-edge insight into the many challenges, such as overfishing and pollution, facing the oceans today. Exploring the critical and ever-evolving relationship between mankind and the ocean, "Man and Sea" is an unforgettable portrait of the global issue of sustainable development.
Praise for "Man and Sea"
Mr. Skerry s Technicolor image of hard corals on the Kingman Reef far out in the Pacific and Mr. Bertrand s shot of the pale sand of Whitsunday Island near the Great Barrier Reef are cool and timeless portraits of treasures we might easily think limitless. " "The Editors, " Wall Street Journal "
