‘The sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever.’
Jacques Cousteau
For thousands of years, humankind has been drawn to the sea. It has stirred our imagination, and awed us with its beauty and power, and whether we experience it from the top of a blustery cliff or from the shelter of a sandy cove, from aboard a ship in a busy harbour or from the rush of a surf board, the might of the ocean is something that continues to inspire us.
This book is a tribute to our love of the ocean, and celebrates coasts and shorelines the world over.
