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!

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.
