Description:
Richard Ellis is currently recognized as the foremost painter of marine natural history subjects in America and, over the past twenty years, has written extensively on these topics. His research has taken him to Quebec, Baja California, Newfoundland, Hawaii, South Africa, Bermuda, Nantucket, the Azores, Alaska, Patagonia, Japan, the Galapagos, Indonesia, Australia, New Zealand, India, and the North and South Poles. Now, for the first time, he pulls his vast knowledge together in a single concise, highly readable, and utterly fascinating volume.
Expand description
With more than 450 of the author's own drawings and paintings, the "Encyclopedia of the Sea" is a masterful and entertaining synthesis of years of investigation and tens of thousands of disparate sources. Ellis takes us on a fantastic journey -- from the amazing diversity of the oceans' creatures, to the little-known realms of marine geography, to the lives of seafarers, to the tools of nautical navigation.
The "Encyclopedia of the Sea" is an ideal gift book, a must for anyone who is interested in the sea, its inhabitants, and the chronicle of man's exploration of its mysteries.
