John D. Gage, Paul A. Tyler

Cambridge University Press, 1992

An excellent overview of deep sea biology

An excellent overview of deep sea biology for the biologist (not a good book for people without a scientific background). Some of the material is a little dated, but the information for the most part is very good.

University Of Chicago Press, 2007

A fascinating review of a fascinating field of study

I ordered this book hoping for more amazing photographs of newly-discovered deep-sea species like I found in "The Deep", but I got much, much more than that. The review of deep-sea ecology was both incredibly interesting and not too difficult for someone without much experience in marine biology. I ...

Richard Ellis

Penguin (Non-Classics), 1999

My copy of the work is somewhat of a novelty, as I bought it at the giftshop of the Smithsonian literally minutes after viewing their giant squid.The book itself was entertaining and I liked it. Anyone interested in cryptozoology should enjoy this. However the work has one flaw; it constantly ...
