Providence,
RI, USA -- Ben Korgen's Rumbles from the Ocean: It's Time
to Wake Up is an introduction to the world ocean for those
with their hearts in the humanities, curiosity in science and
concerns about the environment.
This
warm-hearted introduction to the world ocean and its solvable
problems is accessible for readers without specialized backgrounds in
science, mathematics or statistics. The author focuses on how the
world ocean functions normally, what has happened to it in recent
years and what humans can do to help the oceans recover from its
wounds and prosper far into the future.
He
writes in ways that cause readers to feel he is talking directly to
each of them one-on-one. Although the book's believability is based
on scientific research, it has a palpable flavor of the humanities.
To enrich the book's explanations, the usual two-dimension
illustrations found in other non-fiction books are replaced by
browser addresses that jump readers directly into the rich collection
of internet still images, animations, demonstrations and at sea
videos.
