Secrets of the Sea
By Robert Vennell
Review by Mida
Secrets of the Sea is an enchanting exploration of the creatures of New Zealand’s waters, both freshwater and sea.
Combining stunning images – either gorgeous illustrations or beautiful photographs – with fascinating snippets of text, Secrets of the Sea is a wonderful exploration of the history and ecology of the life beneath the waves. Touching on the importance of each fascinating creature to their environment as well as to humanity, this book serves as a glorious reminder of how truly unique our ecosystem is; both above the tide line and below.
This book is perfect for anyone who has ever been interested in the ocean, or just wants a beautiful book on an often-overlooked part of New Zealand’s vibrant nature.
