David Attenborough

Este es el libro que el mayor locutor de historia natural de nuestros tiempos siempre quiso escribir sobre cómo salvar el océano y, en consecuencia, nuestro planeta.Desde los océanos helados de nuestros polos, hasta remotas islas de coral, David Attenborough ha filmado en todos los habitats oceanicos del planeta Tierra. Ahora, con su colaborador habitual Colin Butfield, comparte la historia de nuestro ultimo gran y critico desierto, el que da forma a la tierra en la que vivimos, regula nuestro clima y crea el aire que respiramos.A lo largo de cien años, ocho habitats oceanicos unicos, innumerables especies intrigantes y a traves de historias personales, historia y ciencia de vanguardia, Oceano descubre el misterio, la maravilla y la fragilidad del habitat mas inexplorado de nuestro planeta. Y muestra su notable resiliencia: es la parte de nuestro mundo que puede recuperarse mas rapido, en algunos casos lo ha hecho, y durante nuestras vidas podriamos ver un mundo marino completamente restaurado, incluso mas rico y espectacular de lo que podriamos esperar Si actuamos ahora.
