Librarian Reviews
Jacques Cousteau: Conserving Underwater Worlds (In the Footsteps of Explorers)
While early explorers either sailed the seas or trekked overland, this 20th-century explorer’s territory of discovery was underwater. Before his work, underwater exploration was limited and dangerous. Contains photographs, illustrations, sidebars, glossary and index.Source: The Canadian Children’s Book Centre.
