Summary "The Ocean and Its Wonders" by R. M. Ballantyne is a scientific treatise written in the late 19th century. The book explores the multitude of phenomena associated with the ocean, its creatures, and the physical laws governing its actions. Ballantyne delves into topics ranging from the ocean's voice and secrets to the various currents and effects of water, aiming to illuminate the beauty and complexity of the marine world and its ecosystems. At the start of the book, the author invites readers to listen to the 'voice of the ocean,' which he characterizes as both soothing and tumultuous, embodying the power and magnificence of nature. He emphasizes that the ocean has much to say about God's creation, touching upon its depths filled with creatures, man’s interaction with the water, and the science behind phenomena such as tides and waves. Ballantyne sets the tone for an exploration of the ocean's vastness and intricacies, teasing upcoming discussions on its composition, the impact of salt, and the development of critical currents, which play a vital role in climate and commerce.
