5.0 out of 5 stars Great, 22 April 1999

By A Customer

I've got several scientific degrees, and I'm a teacher, and yet I learned so much from this book, without getting bored. It's now on the bookshelf at school, and my pupils (who normally run from a book as if it is a white shark) fight for it daily. Brilliant book. Well worth the read.

4.0 out of 5 stars `Geography has never been such fun before!', 8 Feb 2007

By	A B CeDar - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)

`Does Geography grind you down?
Fed up with miserable maps, rotten rock piles and gruelling graphs?
Wave goodbye to boring geography lessons as you dive into the murky waters of 'Odious Oceans' ......
Defy death! ...by tucking into a poisonous pufferfish.....and surviving.
Shudder! ...at ships lost forever in the baffling Bermuda Triangle.
Tremble! ...before perilous modern-day pirates who terrorize today's seas.
Quiver!...as you chew over the stomach contents of a great white shark.
And if that is not odious enough for you....read our roving reporter's guide to the seabed, uncover the dreadful details of `The Titanic's' last day and see if you're nautical enough to join the Navy.
It's earth shatteringly exciting!
Geography has never been so horrible!'

159 pages, split over 9 chapters:-

Introduction
Going down....
The odious oceans
Plenty more fish in the sea
Oil and other ocean spoils
Ocean locomotion

Odious exploration
Deep, dark and.......dangerous
Sea sick

Written with the typical humour of this series of books, in a variety of fonts, interspersed with numerous black and white illustrations/cartoons.
