Sturla Henriksen Ocean Hardback Book

A very impressive piece of work that should be read by anyone who cares what happens next on our planet Dr George McGavinThe ocean is where the crises of our time meet the opportunities of the future. It represents one of our most important concerns and greatest hope. It is only by a holistic approach, understanding the connections and the whole, over time and across issues, that we can truly comprehend the oceans significance for our history, the present day and the future. This defines the focus and ambition of the book. It is a book about the ocean as a condition, a cause of and a force of civilisation, about how it has formed our world and will shape our destiny. Adding a personal flavour to the discussion, Sturla Henriksen blends the topdown perspective of his professional maritime career, the bottomup view of a passionate scuba diver, and his reflections as a concerned citizen and father. A thought provoking, well written and deeply considered book which goes to the heart of our oceans, blue economy and climate change.
