* Take a deep breath and dive into the mysteries of the ocean...

Our understanding of ocean life has changed dramatically in the last decade, with new species, new behaviours, and new habitats being discovered at a rapid rate. Blue Planet II, which accompanies the epic BBC 7-part series, is a ground-breaking new look at the richness and variety of underwater life across our planet.

From ambush hunters such as the carnivorous bobbit worm to cuttlefish mesmerising their prey with a pulsating light display, Blue Planet II reveals the never-before-seen secrets of the ocean.

With over 200 breath-taking photographs and stills from the BBC Natural History Unit's spectacular footage, each chapter of Blue Planet II brings to life a different habitat of the oceanic world.

As well as shining a light on ocean life, coral reef and arctic ice communities and shoreline existence, Blue Planet II examines unflinchingly what the future holds for our ocean dwellers.

It's a book that will amaze, educate, captivate and astound.

Reviews for Blue Planet II

An incredibly gorgeous journey from the shores to the depths of the sea. --Reviews by Rachel this year's most stunning docuseries --TV Guide Magazine . . . Blue Planet II will be one of your favorite TV events of the year, and its deep dive beneath the waves of the world's oceans will prove both soothing and engaging. Find the highest-definition television you can and some good snacks and settle in. You've got seven whole episodes of jaw-dropping documentary footage to enjoy. --Vox But even if you are braced for a glorious production, Blue Planet II is likely to take your breath away. 'Blue Planet II' is jaw-dropping. --Variety Nature documentary filmmaking at its finest. The Planet series remain some of the very few programs that can legitimately be called 'event television.' It's a visually astonishing and riveting seven-part collection of images so surreal they almost feel like science fiction. Something like this doesn't happen overnight or come around very often. --Hollywood Reporter . . . what a spectacle to observe! Despite the high production values, there's a sense of primal delight, evident in an early scene featuring a pod of dolphins as they ride the waves in the Red Sea. --New York Times Blue Planet II is the greatest nature series of all time --The Atlantic [A] substantial and awe-inspiring behind-the-scenes look . . . Honeyborne and Brownlow's gorgeous volume should please fans of the series and lovers of the oceans alike. --Publisher's Weekly
