Can Squid Fly? - Inspired by questions raised whilst the author was a guest lecturer on cruise ships, this fascinating and informative book is a light-hearted yet surprisingly informative read for anyone interested in the sea.
Marine expert, Tony Rice, sets out to answer a selection of general interest questions about the sea, sea life and man’s relationship with the oceans. Questions tackled in this book include:
* Did the Mediterranean once dry up?
* What are sea wasps?
* Why is a ship’s control room called a bridge?
* What is the Pacific Garbage Patch?
* What causes the Northern/Southern Lights
Each bite-sized entry is no more than two or three pages long, making it ideal to dip into.
Paperback, 160 pages, 234x156mm, b/w diagrams.
