OCEANLIFE. By Sally Morgan and Pauline Lalor.
Oceanlife is a journey into the seas, beautifully illustrated with a wealth of superb colour photography 
from around the world. Starting from the shore, where the oceans meet the land, and diving ever further down to the depths where darkness and enormous water pressure makes exploration almost impossible, it considers the very 
different life-forms that are found in the various habitats. With a number of special feature sections that look at subjects such as dolphins, hammerheads, coral photography and camouflage in detail, it includes chapters on Coral Reefs, The open Ocean and The Sea Beds.

This lavishly illustrated Hardback book in colour, with Dust cover of 512 pages is in mint condition 
with only very light wear to the dust cover
