Recenzii

"Because of the rapid rise in ocean levels and the constant threats from climate change, the deep, unexplored parts of the ocean are hot subjects right now. So much of the ocean is still unexplored. Black takes a look at many of the fascinating creatures living there, both now and millions of years ago, and how we have impacted the ocean environment."

Deep Water . . . spotlight[s] the organisms to be found at increasing depths, from goblin sharks to vampire shrimp to giant tube worms. . . . Filled with arresting diagrams and images, [it] convey[s] the magic of the deep sea in a form that should appeal to even the most confirmed landlubber.”

"The deep sea is a realm that has intrigued humanity for millennia. This book dives headlong into this realm, exploring the evolution of ancient life forms, the transformation of the environment, and its current inhabitants (which include horseshoe crabs, extinct marine sloths and giant jellyfish). In short, it shines a spotlight on the deep sea’s origins, evolution and future prospects."

“A delight. . . . Be prepared for surprises.”

“An affable guide.”

“Gorgeously composed. . . . Richly imagined.”

“Black blends the intricacies of science with masterful storytelling for a cracking, enchanting read.”

“This is top-drawer science writing.”

“Deeply compelling.”
