Plankton The incredible microcosmos of the oceans The only illustrated volume on the fascinating plankton of our oceans Plankton drifts through our world mostly unseen - and yet, together with the organisms swimming with the ocean currents, these make up 95 percent of life in the seas and oceans. They are the foundation of the food chain in the water, and supply us with 50 percent of the oxygen we breathe. In this book, Christian Sardet, a renowned and many-times-awarded ocean researcher, shows you this hidden cosmos. Dive in the truest sense of the word into a world in which colourful jewel necklaces, phosphorescent sculptures, hidden harpoons and the longest organism in the world live - a spectacular journey that will change your view of the world Picture sequences and 20 accompanying films (called up via QR codes) will bring the animals to life.

Christian Sardet ist Forschungsdirektor am Nationalen Zentrum für wissenschaftliche Forschung in Frankreich, Autor vieler wissenschaftlicher Publikationen und Empfänger des Großen Preises für Meereskunde der Akademie der Wissenschaften in Frankreich. Er entwickelte auch preisgekrönte Filme.
