Klappentext '[An] authoritative, hands-on study ... Rogers mixes wonder with wake-up calls about overfishing, pollution, invasive species and climate change, along with proposals for protection' Nature There's so much we don't know about the life that flourishes deep beneath the surface of our oceans, and the time to find out is growing increasingly precious... Professor Alex Rogers has spent the past 30 years studying life in the deep ocean. In The Deep, he takes us on an epic and unforgettable voyage to an alien world, introducing us to glittering coral gardens, submarine mountains and a range of bizarre and breathtaking sea creatures.
