A New York Times bestseller, Ocean is like going diving. With Photicular technology, each image is like a 3D movie on the page, offering a rich, fluid visual experience. Opening the book, the reader is drawn into the magic of an underwater world, face-to-face with a hovering yellow-banded sweetlips fish; with a glowing-in-the-dark deep-sea anglerfish; with a seahorse swaying in balletic motion; with a sand tiger shark gliding along the ocean floor, its unsettling gaze, its hook-toothed mouth opening and closing.

Carol Kaufmann’s text enchants with its descriptions of coral reefs; a ride in Alvin, the 17-ton submersible; and a meditation on our oceans. Then, for each creature, she writes a lively, informative essay, along with vital statistics: size, habitat, distribution, diet, and more.

The Photicular process uses innovative lenticular technology, sliding lenses, and original four-color video imagery. The result is like a movie in your hands—the dance of life in a book.
