The Ocean Map

The Ocean Map presents our planet through an ocean-centred map. It introduces the principles behind different ways of representing the world, helping readers understand how maps shape the way we see our planet. Designed for children aged 7-11, the book explores natural features, human-made structures and ocean habitats, with detailed spreads that reveal how science, technology and exploration operate in, on and around the ocean. Case studies such as the Challenger Deep, the Suez Canal and the Great Pacific Garbage Patch help explain the impacts of human activity alongside the importance of ocean research and conservation. Key scientific language is explained clearly, supported by a glossary, and hidden animals throughout the book invite active engagement.
