Description
This captivating collection showcases 200 photographs of three enigmatic sea creatures: the jellyfish, octopus, and seahorse. Acclaimed photographer David Liittschwager has developed specialized techniques to capture their unique bioluminescence, translucent bodies, and ethereal movements.
Paired with insightful essays by science writers Elizabeth Kolbert, Jennifer Holland, and Olivia Judson, this book reveals the biology and advanced cognitive abilities of these fascinating creatures. You'll glimpse a seahorse only half an inch tall, a moon jelly spinning off a snowflake-shaped clone, and the blinking comb jelly, which may be one of the most ancient living animals on Earth.
This enchanting book documents the expanding frontiers of marine science, creating a powerful testament to the value and beauty of these little-seen and endangered species. With its unique blend of photography and scientific expertise, it's a must-have for anyone interested in the natural world.
