How the Sea Came to Be
Jennifer Berne
This book traces 4.5 billion years of change, following the development of the sea and the life in it. Combining verse with information on geology, oceanography, and marine biology, it travels from the beginning of time toward the ocean floor. The account considers how ocean organisms evolved and the range of creatures that make their home in the sea. Back matter extends the scientific material beyond the main poetic narrative.
