Using the same question-and-answer format of his highly successful first book Do Whales Get the Bends?, marine expert Tony Rice sets out to answer another selection of general interest questions about the sea, the bounty of the life within it and the forces surrounding it.

Where and what is the Bermuda Triangle? Do sea wasps sting? Why is a ship's control room called a bridge? What is the Great Pacific Garbage Patch? What causes the Northern/Southern Lights? Written in the same entertaining style as the first book, and once again illustrated with black and white line drawings, these and many more intriguing questions are answered with clarity and charm.

For anyone with an interest in the sea, this is a feast of facts and figures to satisfy the curious mind—a delightful bunkside or armchair read.
