Recenzii

"For those fortunate enough to have visited sanctuaries, these books are the perfect way to preserve the memories. For those who have not, they are the next best thing to being there." --Bob Talbot, chairman of the board, National Marine Sanctuary Foundation
"Jean-Michel Cousteau and his team have put together an amazing series of books dedicated to the undersea world on which we depend. This is the first time anyone has truly captured the experience of diving America's underwater treasures, the entire national marine sanctuary system . . . . After spending time with this book, I am even more proud of America's commitment to protect our National Marine Sanctuaries." --Jeff Mora, board member, National Marine Sanctuary Foundation
"This wonderful book series shows how very precious the National Marine Sanctuaries are . . . [it] is an undoubted 'treasure-house' and I have no hesitation in recommending it to all who love wildlife." --Simon Cowell, MBE, FRGS, MCIJ; founder, Wildlife Aid
"Beautiful images of animals and plants as well as sections on visitors' centers, Chambers of Commerce, ecotours, boating and sailing rentals, locations of boat ramps, restricted areas, diving and snorkeling permits, and dive sites are useful resources for visitors and whet the appetite of armchair travelers. . . . Other books on the marine sanctuaries are technical and specialized. This attractive guide for lay readers will interest divers, photographers, tourists, conservationists, and marine biology buffs." -- Library Journal
