Lebenswelt Meer

With this book, you will be guided by experts during your vacation by the sea, on your beach and mudflat walks, on the crab fishing boat, and in the marine aquarium, receiving answers to questions such as: Why do dolphins swim in a butterfly stroke? How can a sperm whale dive 3000 meters deep and stay underwater for over an hour without taking a breath? How do animals navigate the vast oceans and the pitch-black deep sea? Why do so many marine organisms look plant-like? How can some of the bizarre shapes be understood? Why do so many glow in colors ranging from blue to red? How are reefs formed? We learn about moon-dependent life rhythms, strange couples, and superorganisms created through natural cloning. We visit underwater volcanoes and geysers and ask with current research: Is the sea the origin of life?.
