If I still had one, I'd be writing "Mr. & Mrs. The Deep" on my Trapper Keeper. With lots of little hearts. This is one of the most beautiful books I've ever seen. Absolutely gorgeous photos of the denizens of the deep, showing incredible detail. There's enough text to be informative, but not enough to intrude on the pretty, pretty pictures. ( ) Coffee table book that my wife got me for Christmas. It's got pretty pictures! And the accompanying text is really nicely done. This book is great. If you were totally mesmerized by the Deep episode of Blue Planet, this is the book for you. If you haven't seen Blue Planet, my God you're wasting your life. Filled with full color photos of some scary/creepy/fascinating looking creatures from the deepest parts of the ocean, this coffee table sized book is good reading for anyone of any age with an interest in what crawls, swims, or scurries along the ocean floor. However, Lovecraft fans will be disappointed that Cthulhu does not appear in these pages. As a terrestrial being you are taught that most of the Earth surface is covered by water, and an average student also knows that below 100 meters there is not much light, even if still plenty of water. But the direct consequence is less obvious: most of the life of this planet lives and survives there. And this book explains how, with impressive pictures and didactic articles from a variety of experts. I learned A LOT, and initially I borrowed the book only for the pictures! aucune critique | ajouter une critique

In the oceans, living space has both vertical and horizontal dimensions: with an average depth of 3800 meters, the oceans offer 99% of the space where life can develop. And the deep sea, immersed in total darkness since the dawn of time, occupies 85% of ocean space, the planet's largest habitat. Yet the deep sea is mostly uncharted--only about 5% of the seafloor has been mapped with any reasonable degree of detail--and we know very little about the creatures that call it home. Current estimates about the number of species yet to be found vary between ten and thirty million. The deep sea is without doubt Earth's largest reservoir of life. Combining the latest scientific discoveries with astonishing color imagery, this book takes readers on a voyage into these dark realms, with more than two hundred color photographs of sea monsters, living fossils, and ethereal bioluminescent creatures.--From publisher description.
