Why read it?
1 author picked Water World as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This is a beautifully laid-out big book full of realistically painted marine creatures. In addition, the illustrations are similar to the author's (Van’s) style. This gave the author a beautiful blend of realistic paintings and shorter, simpler writing. This led to Van’s book layout on his text and pictures having a great influence on his book.
The book's writing style is short, simple, yet informative.
From Van's list on seeing the South China Sea beyond geopolitics.
