Book description
Reefscape is a thought-provoking exploration of the nature and significance of reef, in particular the Great Barrier Reef of Australia, listed as World Heritage. Rosaleen Love offers an exhilarating tour of it, both above and below the glinting surface. We glimpse the Reef anew, through other world views - of mariners, pearlers, naturalists, filmmakers, poets and others. Her insights from history and science, her own diving and lively personal reflections illuminate the meaning of the human encounter with nature.
Reefscape inspires delight, imagination and spirit in all who yearn for the transcendence of turquoise waters - whether ready with goggles or from a comfortable armchair.
