Ocean Drifters, a secret world beneath the waves

Under the ocean's surface lies a hidden microcosm of life: the complex and alien world of plankton. In this book extraordinary high-magnification photography reveals the strange beauty and amazing variety of these tiny creatures that float freely near the sunlit surface of the sea. From here, they underpin the whole marine food chain, help to provide the planet with oxygen, and play an essential role in the global carbon cycle.
