Life and Death in a Coral Sea

Cousteau, Jacques-Yves, & Philippe Diole

It's a world few people have ever seen -- filled with structures of greater beauty, complexity and vastness than anything ever built on land. In an absorbing narrative, highlighted by the superb color photographs that are his trademark, Jacques-Yves Cousteau tells of adventure and discovery among the unique life forms of the great coral areas of the Indian Ocean and the Red Sea.
Join the famed explorer and the crew of the good ship Calypso as they study and photograph the coral itself (actually colonies of tiny animals in brightly colored shells) and the countless other colorful creatures that make the reef their home.
