About Beyond the Blue Bok

Beyond the Blue är en bok om miljöfrågor kopplade till havet. Varje kapitel introduceras av en distinkt färgbricka som visar en annan sida av havet. En grön bricka står för en frisk havsskog, medan en röd bricka syftar på ett hav mörknat av valblod. Färg används som ett enkelt och universellt sätt att förklara komplexa miljöämnen för läsare i alla åldrar. Boken mäter 187 mm gånger 245 mm och har 90 sidor. Tryckningen använder sojaoljebläck på 100 g matt papper, och trådbindning minskar användningen av lim.
