Water Habitats and the Life in Them

The focus for March at the library is Dive In!  A promotion all about water and water animals.  This week, we're sharing some informational books are water habitats and the life in them.  Here are a few of our favorites . . . .

Ocean Atlas: A Journey Across the Wave and Into the Deep by Tom Jackson
A comprehensive exploration of our oceans, covering geography, ecosystems, and animals through a mix of illustrations, photographs, maps, and diagrams. Map out the oceans' layers, from the sunlight zone to the abyss, exploring the conditions within each zone and the different creatures that live there, as well as exploring features of the ocean floor such as underwater volcanoes, thermal vents, and the mid-Atlantic ridge.

From Shore to Ocean Floor: The Human Journey to the Deep by Gill Arbuthnott
The story of how humans went from building the first boats to discovering the secrets of the deep. Marvel at incredible scientific discoveries, be dazzled by some of the most exciting new species, and admire the incredible people who took the very first steps below the surface.

Life in Hot Water: Wildlife at the Bottom of the Ocean by Mary Batten
The scalding-hot water gushing from vents at the bottom of the ocean is one of the most extreme environments on Earth. Yet over millions of years, many organisms have evolved in amazing ways that enable them to thrive in this unlikely habitat. Scientists are hard at work to learn more about the complex ecosystems of the ocean depths.
