Author: Dan KainenTitle: OceanBinding: HardcoverNumber Of Pages: 28Release Date: 2014-10-07Details: A New York Times bestseller, Ocean is like being on a dive. Using Photicular tec hnology, each image is like a 3-D movie on the page, delivering a rich, fluid visual experience. Open the book, and the reader is swept into the magic of an underwater world, face-to-face with a floating Yellow-Banded Sweetlips; with a glow-in-the-dark Deep-Sea Anglerfish; with a Sea Horse swaying in balletic motion; with a Sand Tiger Shark gliding along the ocean floor, its gaze haunting, its hook-toothed mouth gulping open and closed.The text by Carol Kaufmann enchants with its descriptions of coral reefs; a journey on Alvin, the 17-ton submersible; and a meditation on our oceans. Then, for each creature, she writes a lively and informative essay, along with vital statistics-size, habitat, range, diet, and more.The Photicular process uses an 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.EAN: 9780761180517Package Dimensions: Height: 8 Inches, Length: 5 Inches, Weight: 1.8959754532 Pounds, Width: 2 Inches Show more
