But also tools for connecting facts and values to change our often destructive behavior towards nature. The solutions to achieving an ocean in harmony with man are within us, where compassion, curiosity, empathy, courage, and creativity are needed for sustainable change. Therefore, with this book, I want to arouse your curiosity and give the reader, the courage to face the future better by introducing tools for deep diving into our outer and inner world with many hidden resources. The book brings the reader into humans' challenges with the ocean and its future. It addresses some of the main questions in the United Nations Ocean Decade initiative that aims to change how humans deal with the ocean. This unique book will stimulate a broad way of thinking by connecting analytical science thinking and intuition. In the book's first part, art and dreams are used to connect science and art. This knowledge is then applied in part II of the book, written in two modes: a concerned science mode and an intuitive, artistic mode in which the ocean is given a voice. Part III illustrates how science and art can be connected to increase our awareness of the state of the ocean and support behavioral change. 606 $aEnvironment 606 $aOceanography 606 $aCommunity psychology 606 $aSustainability 606 $aEnvironmental Sciences 606 $aOcean Sciences 606 $aCommunity Psychology 606 $aSustainability 615 0$aEnvironment. 615 0$aOceanography. 615 0$aCommunity psychology. 615 0$aSustainability. 615 14$aEnvironmental Sciences. 615 24$aOcean Sciences. 615 24$aCommunity Psychology. 615 24$aSustainability. 676 $a304.27 700 $aOmstedt$b Anders$0980225 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910881095403321 996 $aPhilosophical View of the Ocean and Humanity$92585344 997 $aUNINA
