|||||||||
| This book - THE SEA - describes the immense oceans that surround us and man''s continuing efforts to make use of them. It traces the development of diving. New equipment has enabled man to live and work at great depths, more safely and effectively than ever before. THE SEA looks at the vast resouces of energy and food which man is attempting to harness. Plant and animal life provide food for the world''s ever growing population. Reserves of oil and natural gas that lie under the oceans can be tapped. The constant movement and changing temperature of the sea provides another possible source of energy. Pollution however poses a serious threat to man and sea life. Man''s relationship with the sea has always been ambiguous. But the book ends on a positive note, looking at the sports that provide a constant source of pleasure. Jonathan Rutland, the author, is a professional writer. He has written and edited numerous children''s books, including an encyclopedia on the sea and seafaring.  Ir al inicio |
