Publisher Description "More than a picture book ... Hoyts elegant writing provides both the historical background for deep-sea exploration and an ecological perspective on life in the oceans depths." - American Scientist "A magnificent bestiary... and a reminder of how little we actually know about the seas surrounding us." - Popular Science Winner, Outstanding Nonfiction Book of the Year - American Society of Journalists and Authors, Inc., New York In this updated third edition of Creatures of the Deep, award-winning nature and science writer Erich Hoyt gives readers a glimpse of the amazing variety of creatures found in the deepest parts of the ocean. Weaving together details from the latest scientific research about sharks, giant squid, dragonfish, huge tube worms, clams and tiny microbes of the deep-sea vents, Hoyt embarks on a magical journey roaming across the abyssal plains and descending into deep-sea trenches more than 20,000 feet down. Hoyt unravels the complex predator-prey relationships, from "killer" copepods to battles between giant squid and sperm whales, presenting compelling portraits of animals that are superbly adapted denizens of a dark high-pressure world. There are life forms, independent of sunlight and photosynthesis, which flourish around the hot, sulfurous deep-sea vents in the magnificent rift valley of the mid-ocean ridge, the worlds longest mountain range. Surviving in conditions that appear to be close to the very soup of primordial Earth, these microbes have become the basis for the latest research into Earths origins. This book is fully illustrated with fantastic underwater imagery. AUTHOR: Erich Hoyt has spent much of his life on or beside the sea, working with whales and dolphins and marine conservation.
