内容摘要：Covering eight unique salt-water habitats, “Ocean” transports readers to coral reefs, the deep, open ocean, kelp forests, the Arctic, mangroves, oceanic islands and seamounts, and the Southern Ocean. Attenborough begins each chapter with a story from his lifetime of exploration, including his first scuba dive in 1957. (“I was so taken aback by the spectacle before me that I momentarily forgot to breathe.”) Butfield picks up the baton from there, offering a wealth of scientific facts and history about each habitat.

They are fishermen floating on “corchos,” makeshift rafts that have become common on the waters off the coast of Havana. It is an innovative way to fish in a country where it’s complicated — if not impossible — to access a regular fishing boat. These rafts are about 2 meters long by 1 1/2 meters wide. They are big enough for one person to climb aboard with his fishing rod, reels, pliers and hooks.

He hung flyers all over Busan, where his mother abandoned him at a restaurant. She ordered him soup, went to the bathroom and never returned. Police found him wandering the streets and took him to an orphanage. He didn’t think much about finding his birth family until he had his own son, imagined himself as a boy and yearned to understand where he came from.He has visited South Korea four times, without any luck. He says he’ll keep coming back, and tears rolled down his cheeks.

Some who make this trip learn things about themselves they’d thought were lost forever.In a small office at the Stars of the Sea orphanage in Incheon, South Korea, Maja Andersen sat holding Sister Christina Ahn’s hands. Her eyes grew moist as the sister translated the few details available about her early life at the orphanage.
