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!
