From Shore to Ocean Floor: The Human Journey to the Deep
by Gill Arbuthnott (Author) Christopher Nielsen (Illustrator)
From sandy beaches to mysterious, inky depths, this beautiful book is the story of ocean exploration, from shore to ocean floor.
Seen from space, Earth is a swirl of blue and white. The blue is Earth's oceans, which cover 70 percent of its surface. Yet the ocean is the most unexplored region of our planet.
From Shore to Ocean Floor is the story of how humans went from building the first boats to discovering the secrets of the deep. Marvel at incredible scientific discoveries, be dazzled by some of the most exciting new species, and admire the incredible people who took the very first steps below the surface.

Review quotes
This book merges informative text and dynamic graphics to tell the exciting story of oceans and how we use (and abuse) them. . . . Descriptions of those who sought to salvage treasures from shipwrecks are as compelling as details of the treasures of sea-borne knowledge. . . Arbuthnott balances accuracy and entertainment. The anecdotes are fascinating, complemented by Nielsen's dramatic illustrations. . . Colorful, clear, and chock-full of information, this book invites readers to dive in. — Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
