leonardoz 's review for:
The Blue Machine: How the Ocean Works
by Helen Czerski
I want to thank NetGalley and the author for giving me the opportunity to review an ARC of this book.
I found the book highly educational. It describes the highly complex and expansive nature of water and oceans and their impact on our planet and all life. It also provides a view into how vast the oceans are and how relatively much we still need to explore. Plus it shows the impact humans have wittingly and unwittingly had on the vast yet limited water systems of this planet.
As interesting and enlightening as I found the book, I do feel that at times I found it a little harder than I would have liked to follow the flow of topics. At times, the author did also diverge into deep detail that perhaps lengthen the book a little.
Still overall I found the book very interesting, informative and easy to read stylistically. Recommended.
