Ocean Art

"In this brilliantly fun and expertly written book, Scales tells crucial human stories about the development of our relationship with the ocean. She takes us on a tour through some of the most compelling, rare, and diverse works of art that have been inspired by sea life, from ancient artifacts and found fossils to modern paintings and scientific illustrations. Marine biologists: this is the ideal book for your artsy side! Artists and historians: you'll find no more appealing way to learn more about all that grows, crawls, slithers, and swims in the ocean!"--Richard J. King, visiting associate professor of maritime history and literature, Sea Education Association, and author of "Ocean Bestiary" and "Sailing Alone"
