Description: "What lies beneath the surface of the ocean has mystified humankind for millennia. Today, we have explored more of the surface of the Moon than we have of the deep sea. What thrives in these mysterious depths, how did these life forms evolve from ancient life, and how has this environment changed over time as our planet has developed? Organized by ocean depth and with "fossil fanatic" science writer Riley Black as our guide, Deep Water explains the origins of this unique habitat, what lives there, how it has evolved, and what the future will bring to this dark and mysterious environment"--

Review Quotes: "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."-- "X-Ray Mag"
