Dive into the deep with David Attenborough’s remarkable book, Ocean: Earth’s Last Wilderness. With his signature storytelling, and accompanied by stunning images by photographer Colin Butfield, Attenborough unveils the hidden wonders of marine life, from glowing creatures of the deep to vast underwater forests.

From the publisher’s website: “Award-winning broadcaster and natural historian David Attenborough and longtime collaborator Colin Butfield present a powerful call to action focused on our planet’s oceans, exploring how critical this habitat is for the survival of humanity and the earth’s future. Through personal stories, history and cutting-edge science, Ocean uncovers the mystery, the wonder, and the frailty of the most unexplored habitat on our planet—the one which shapes the land we live on, regulates our climate, and creates the air we breathe. This book showcases the oceans’ remarkable resilience: they can, and in some cases have, recovered the fastest, if we only give them the chance.”
