Vintage 1975 "The Drama of the Oceans" Book by Elisabeth Mann Borgese

This vintage hardcover edition of The Drama of the Oceans by Elisabeth Mann Borgese is a visually compelling and intellectually rich exploration of the world’s oceans. First published in 1975 by Harry N. Abrams, Incorporated, the book blends dramatic ocean photography with thoughtful writing on marine environments, exploration, and humanity’s relationship with the sea.
 
Printed and bound in Japan, this edition reflects the high production quality Abrams is known for, making it especially appealing as a coffee table book or reference for ocean lovers, maritime historians, and coastal design enthusiasts alike. Borgese, an influential ocean scholar and environmental advocate, brings both scientific depth and poetic narrative to the subject, elevating the book beyond pure visual documentation.
 
This copy includes the original dust jacket, which is present but shows visible wear consistent with age and use. The hardcover book itself is in good vintage condition, with faint sun staining across the front cover, adding subtle character without detracting from its display appeal. A timeless addition to any coastal library, nautical collection, or styled shelf.
