The ocean teems with life that thrives under difficult situations
in unusual environments. The Extreme Life of the Sea takes readers
to the absolute limits of the ocean world--the fastest and deepest,
the hottest and oldest creatures of the oceans. It dives into the
icy Arctic and boiling hydrothermal vents--and exposes the eternal
darkness of the deepest undersea trenches--to show how marine life
thrives against the odds. This thrilling book brings to life the
sea's most extreme species, and tells their stories as characters
in the drama of the oceans. Coauthored by Stephen Palumbi, one of
today's leading marine scientists, The Extreme Life of the Sea
tells the unforgettable tales of some of the most marvelous life
forms on Earth, and the challenges they overcome to survive. Modern
science and a fluid narrative style give every reader a deep look
at the lives of these species. The Extreme Life of the Sea shows
you the world's oldest living species. It describes how flying fish
strain to escape their predators, how predatory deep-sea fish use
red searchlights only they can see to find and attack food, and
how, at the end of her life, a mother octopus dedicates herself to
raising her batch of young. This wide-ranging and highly accessible
book also shows how ocean adaptations can inspire innovative
commercial products--such as fan blades modeled on the flippers of
humpback whales--and how future extremes created by human changes
to the oceans might push some of these amazing species over the
edge.
