About the Author:
David Lambert has written more than eighty books for children and adults including the award-winning Kingfisher Book of Oceans and Seashores.
From School Library Journal:
Grade 4-6?This title updates Lambert's Seas and Oceans (Facts on File, 1985; o.p.). While the narrative is somewhat dry, the graphics, which include satellite photos, underwater shots, drawings, and reproductions, are vibrant and engaging. A depiction of what is now the Mediterranean filling with ocean water is connected by a flowing blue arrow to a dramatic image of what that massive waterfall might have looked like five million years ago. Double-page illustrations, some horizontal, some vertical, amplify the topics. The cross-sectional drawing of underwater geological formations includes ocean vessels floating on the surface, dwarfed by the natural landscape. Sometimes the collages of photographs and drawings are confusing. For example, an illustration of a coral reef includes Pacific and Atlantic species. Maps abound and show the four main oceans, the evolution of the continents, ocean currents, migration paths, voyages of exploration, major shipping lanes, and more. A listing of 40 prominent oceanographers since the 1700s and their important contributions is appended. This colorful glance at marine life is similar to Miranda MacQuitty's Oceans (Knopf, 1995), but broader in scope.?Frances E. Millhouser, Chantilly Regional Library, VA
