Aprašymas

Step into the ocean. Walk into the deep. Feel the silence. Watch its wonders come alive before your eyes. Discover fantastic shapes, vibrant colors, and the gliding and darting of sea creatures. Welcome to the coral reef with Uma Mani, painter of corals and passionate advocate for coral conservation.

Based on a film of the same name by Priya Thuvassery, Coral Woman tells the story of Uma Mani, a journey as inspiring as the woman herself. It follows a fifty-year-old homemaker who finds the courage to do something both new and daunting: diving into the deep sea to witness firsthand the corals that had long fascinated her.

This book offers a unique look at India's coral reefs and the dangers they face, threats that directly affect marine life and the coastal communities these reefs protect. It also serves as a starting point for understanding how each of us can play a role in caring for our planet.

"Beautifully written, with illustrations to match. A powerful reminder that no matter our location or level of experience in the water, we all have an important role to play as a voice for our oceans." -- Jeff Orlowski, director of Chasing Coral, Chasing Ice, and The Social Dilemma
