Illustrated by
Daniel Mizieliński.
In this oversize, vertically oriented book, readers encounter science concepts, locales, and creatures in and around lakes and oceans; and, from the book's other end, in the shallow underground and deep center of Earth. Although the spreads' topics are a hodgepodge (buoyancy, sinkholes, diving suits; edible roots, sewage, subways), the intricate illustrations, filled with flow-chart-like graphics and neatly labeled specimens, encourage extended examination.
