I would incorporate this book when I do a lesson on ocean life. It describes the many ways scientist can explore the depths and the many of the organisms that can be encountered. The book is organized in a very appealing way. The blue color of the ocean is demonstrated on many of the pages. Some of the pages are partially transparent, which allows for the reader to match up images with the page before or after. The information is accurate and the organization is very well done. An organized table of contents is presented, along with an index, and acknowledgements. No glossary was provided. Many illustartions and real pictures demonstrate many beautiful ocean organisms and various ancient objects.
