Description

Brimming with illustrations and information, this coast-to-coast journey through time and across continents introduces young readers to the historical and cultural importance of the world's seashores. A series of highly detailed double-page spreads explores every aspect of critical coastal habitats, including tides, coastal settlements, artistic depictions, native animals and plants, the whaling industry, tourism, and climate change.

The book also provides a Twenty-First-Century corrective to Western-centric narratives about exploration and colonialism. Meticulously detailed maps of the world's largest oceans highlight historic events, figures, and scientific facts. This vibrant book fosters a feeling of connection between readers' lives and the world's coastlines.

With its unique blend of fun and learning, this book is perfect for anyone interested in the natural world and our place within it.
