This cleverly designed companion to Oceanology (from the Ologies series) provides a tutorial on all things oceanic as seen during a fictional journey of the Nautilus. Written on sepia-toned pages with illustrations and diagrams in the style of nineteenth-century naturalists (or twenty-first-century steampunk), the many topics covered include ships and sailing, marine flora and fauna, and ocean geology. Pullout stickers are included.
