Am Meer. Die Welt der Küste

內容簡介

內容簡介 海岸豐富的生命地球在46億年前是紅通通的，之後暴雨連續下了成千上萬年，形成了海洋。地球內的岩石，形成第一個大陸。海洋孕育生命，海洋和陸地交錯的海岸地貌、物種豐富。本書帶領讀者從海岸開始探索，繼而隨著海洋環遊世界，認識潮汐的漲落、沿岸生活、動物和植物、海底怪獸傳說、捕鯨業、從海洋開始的殖民地擴張以及近年來最關注的氣候變遷。繪製有大量地圖，活力、有趣又內容豐富。Brimming with illustrations and information, this coast-to-coast journey through time and across continents introduces young readers to the historical and cultural importance of the world’s seashores.Coasts have always been the starting point of discovery― whether by explorers searching for new lands or children sifting through the sand for beautiful shells. This trip around the world’s oceans provides hours of fun and learning in a series of highly detailed double-page spreads that look at every aspect of critical coastal habitats, including the ebb and flow of tides; life in a coastal settlement; artistic depictions of seashores; native animals and plants; the whaling industry; tourism; and climate change. The book also provides a Twenty-First-Century corrective to Western-centric narratives about exploration and colonialism. Interspersed throughout are meticulously detailed maps of the world’s largest oceans with historic events, figures and scientific facts highlighted. BAs fun as it is informative, this vibrant book takes readers on a trip around the globe that fosters a feeling of connection between their lives and the world’s coastlines.
