Boats

By Gift PR

Description

Set sail on a delightfully detailed and richly illustrated voyage into the world of ships and shipping, as the book Boats from Prestel introduces young readers to an oceanic array of naval phenomena. As in his previous book, Planes, Jan Van Der Veken takes a kaleidoscopic approach to his subject. Deftly weaving history, science and culture, he looks at a fascinating array of subjects—historic vessels, amazing voyages, extraordinary figures, technical details and cultural phenomena. Throughout the book, vibrantly coloured, retro-futurist illustrations are as beautiful as they are informative. Readers will learn why seas have streets, which bodies of water are considered cursed, how a ship stays afloat, how to use a sextant and how lighthouses work. Providing hours of entertainment, this is the perfect book for naval enthusiasts of every age. On-Sale: 3rd September 2024 RRP: £19.99 Ages: 10+ Available from good booksellers.
