#ARichLife Bounty. This soundtrack for the movie The Bounty (1984) by Vangelis is very eerie. @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

CoverToCoverGirl What unfolds in this historic account is so unimaginable that it‘s hard to believe it‘s a well documented truth. Truth is really stranger than fiction. 2mo

An interesting premise in a novel by one of my favorite authors about the cables in the oceans that transmit information over the Internet. Though we speak of “the cloud“ much of the transfer occurs underwater. Topics include the digital age, connection, COVID.

ChaoticMissAdventures I will have peick this up! The ocean lines are fascinating!! I am obsessed and not many people know about them. The concept of how long these wires are is absolutely wild 3mo

I colored this picture on Zen Color. I‘ve seen sea turtles hatch on nature shows and they really do this. They hatch on the beach and go out to sea quickly so they‘re not eaten by predators and I root for them.

Sea turtles have hatched out of their shells on the beach
They‘re going out to sea now
They need to go out to sea quickly before they get eaten by predators
🌊Go sea turtles! Go! 🌊

Missing child, broken father. An outsider magician and insider woman. Generations of trauma. The hunger of water. Never turn your back on the ocean. I highly recommend Lindqvest and this book.

Had such a great time reading this!
I'm thinking a good 30 percent of that was production value, the choices made in the book's design, to go heavy on the visual impact, including many images of Lego found, of examples of plastic pollution in the ocean, (sometimes as the result of cargo spills, but not always), but photographing and composing the pages so they are art, and even often have an I Spy book quality. 1/?

Robotswithpersonality 2/? It's engaging, and come to think of it, probably means this book appeals to a broader age range of readers.
The book discusses the particular cargo spill with Lego pieces that got Williams interested in this phenomenon, but it's fair to say the broader conversation is about plastic in the ocean, washing up on beaches, the study of ocean currents helping to determine where these items go, the efforts of various individuals to highlight the
4mo
Robotswithpersonality 3/? problem, and repurpose, make art out of it. Speaking of art, there are also ocean-/beach- themed paintings, and poetry interspersed: there are few pages that are solid text.
It's not that the book had little to say and needed to bulk it out with images, I think the writers are savvy in realizing how much images add to the topic at hand.
4mo
Robotswithpersonality 4/4 It's got enough of a thruline that I wouldn't call it a coffee table book that you pick up at random, but it is full of trivia presented in a colourful manner.
It's not a book full of solutions, though there are some (not green washing?) developments with Lego discussed that leave me optimistic.
There's something so hopeful about a good book talking about an important topic in an absorbing way. ♥️
