About Beyond the Blue Livre

Beyond the Blue est un livre consacré aux enjeux environnementaux liés à la mer. Chaque chapitre est introduit par un nuancier de couleur distinct qui révèle un visage différent de l'océan. Un aplat vert évoque une forêt marine en bonne santé, tandis qu'un aplat rouge renvoie à une mer assombrie par le sang des baleines. La couleur est utilisée comme un moyen simple et universel d'expliquer des sujets environnementaux complexes à des lecteurs de tous âges. L'ouvrage mesure 187 mm sur 245 mm et compte 90 pages. L'impression est réalisée à l'encre à base d'huile de soja sur un papier mat de 100 g, et la reliure cousue au fil limite l'usage de colle.
