An octopus expert and celebrated artist offer a deep dive to meet
the enchanting inhabitants of the world's marine ecosystems. Have
you ever walked along the beach and wondered what kind of creatures
can be found beneath the waves? Have you pictured what it would be
like to see the ocean not from the shore, but from its depths?
These questions drive Janet Voight, an expert on mollusks who has
explored the seas in the submersible Alivn that can dive some
14,000 feet below the water's surface. In this book, she partners
with artist Peggy Macnamara to invite readers to share her undersea
journeys of discovery. With accessible scientific description,
Voight introduces the animals that inhabit rocky and sandy shores,
explains the fragility of coral reefs, and honors the extraordinary
creatures that must search for food in the ocean's depths, where
light and heat are rare. These fascinating insights are accompanied
by Macnamara's stunning watercolors, illuminating these ecosystems
and other scenes from Voight's research. Together, they show
connections between life at every depth-and warn of the threats
these beguiling places and their eccentric denizens face.
