Abrams, 1985 Wonderful and complete This was one of the first books my parents ever bought me which I read all by myself. It is still one of my favorite books and one of the few from my childhood that I have not donated to the local library. This book was written by Jacques Cousteau, the famous French oceanographer, inventor of numerous diving devices and technologies and maybe one of the most famous scientists of the 20th ...             The Fantastic Undersea Life of Jacques Cousteau7 reviews Dan Yaccarino Knopf Books for Young Readers, 2009 I loved the magical undersea world that this book brings to life with its lively text and vibrant illustrations! When Jacques Cousteau was a young boy, he was "weak and sickly." His doctors thought that one of the best things he could do was to get into the water and swim so he would become stronger. It didn't take much encouragement because he soon found out that beneath the surface of the water his frailty was minimized. His curiosity was insatiable. He loved to "tinker and build all sorts of ...             The Home Planet9 reviews Addison-Wesley, 1988 A new perspective A wonderfully moving and beautifully compiled collection of images. Mountain ranges and river deltas dissolve into abstract designs of astounding beauty. The accompanying commentaries show a world united in space in a way that is sadly absent on Earth.

It has touched the hearts of ...             Manfish: A Story of Jacques Cousteau6 reviews Jennifer Berne Chronicle Books, 2008 Wonder-ful Children's Book The story of Jacque Cousteau's developing fascination with the sea and it's inhabitants is beautifully told and illustrated in this volume for children. .

This book was first published in 1972. Since that time advancements in underwater photographic equipment have been enormous. I have often wondered what the great Jacques Cousteau and his team would have achieved had they possessed today's equipment in the 50's, 60's and 70's. But then I took another look at some of the photographs in this book. The pictures of Humpback Whales on pages 110/111 and ...             Diving for Sunken Treasure5 reviews Jacques Yves and Philippe Diole Cousteau A & W Pub, 1978 A book to give you Gold Fever. As I began to read this book again after a gap of so many years since I first settled down to enjoy these excellent stories of ships, shipwrecks, divers and treasures (what more could I ever want from any single book!), I found myself willing the Cousteau on in their quest to find those hidden treasures. This is a gripping tale - told only as the legendary Jacques Cousteau could tell and one ...             The silent world, (Perennial library)11 reviews Jacques Yves Cousteau Harper & Row, 1965 How a showman/researcher/storyteller/philosopher defined modern diving What can be said about Jacques Cousteau and his groundbreaking book that hasn't been said a thousand times? He is undoubtedly the defining figure of modern scuba diving, his books, films, and documentaries known to millions or billions. Even the name of his ship, the Calypso, is known the world over. It's a small volume, this book, just 160 pages, yet it's absolutely mandatory reading for anyone ...             The Shark: Splendid Savage of the Sea (The Undersea Discoveries of Jacques-Yves Cousteau)12 reviews Jacques-Yves & Philippe Cousteau Garden City: Doubleday & Company, Inc. 1970, 1970 Studying Sharks at Sea This 1970 book tells about the Cousteau expedition to the Indian Ocean, the Red Sea, and other waters.

Jacques Cousteau will forever remain the world's greatest diving pioneer and it is through these books that the modern diver is able to add something to their own knowledge of the sport of scuba diving - a "something" that is not found in any "how to learn to dive" book. ...             Dolphins4 reviews Jacques Yves Cousteau A & W Pub, 1977 One of the best-ever books about Dolphins. It is hard to believe this book was first published in 1974. Since that time our knowledge of these friendly sea mammals has increased quite markedly.

It recently occured to me that the film "The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou" (my personal favorite movie) is based largely off of the life of Jaques-Yves Cousteau. Anyone who knows the movie will see immediately the almost comic likeness of himself and Zissou. Besides that though, "Three Adventures" is filled with retro-esque pictures and commentaries about sea life. Sea life! Who doesn't love ...             Hommes Et Ouvrages De La Ligne Maginot3 reviews Jean-Yves Mary, Alain Hohnadel, ...

Jacques Cousteau will forever remain the man who gave the world scuba diving. Whilst both his work and his films are legendary, several of his early books have stood the test of time to provide the reader with a relevant insight into marine creatures - even though the book itself may have been published over 30 years ago.

He and Philippe Diole wrote this very non-technical book that does a nice, thorough job of describing the general life and features of the octopus, with one chapter on the squid. (So if you love the squid, this is probably not your book.) Written in 1973, the book is still relevant at the beginning of the 21st century. Great full-page color ...             LIFE AND DEATH IN A CORAL SEA The Undersea Discoveries of Jacques-Yves Cousteau3 reviews Jacques-Yves with Philippe Diole Cousteau Cassell, 1972 Exploring the other three-fourths...
