The seas are mysterious, unpredictable and unforgiving. Yet, the waves speak a language that is hard to resist. Beneath the waters lies a world characterized by paradoxes… a world of incredible colour as well as inky darkness; of incredible swiftness of motion and immense stillness. It is a place where magnificent deposits of minerals await discovery; a place where fire meets ice-cold water as underwater volcanoes erupt and where most inhabitants remain unknown and unnamed.

The author Dr. Sukanya Datta, a scientist by profession through this book takes the readers on a journey deep under the waves and also through time. Along the journey many mysteries are uncovered and many discoveries made. Marine World traces the entire saga from how the first oceans were formed and explores realms of the watery world in all its dimensions: geographical, physical, chemical, and biological unfolding, in detail, the secrets of the seas.

The lure of the seas is no doubt irresistible.
