At a time when humanity challenges living species to survive our destructive madness, this book is an invitation to learn to see the extraordinary genius and the stunning beauty of what surrounds us.

This illustrated book is a modern rereading of marine biodiversity, revealing the science behind sea species’ behaviors as well as their interactions with each other and the world above sea level. The physics, chemistry, and mechanics of the turtle, the krill, the albatross, and dozens of species more or less known to the general public become a fascinating story, beautifully illustrated by Valentine Plessy.
