Miles down, in cold and total darkness, life somehow flourishes. Sydney Hickson describes the physical world of the abyss, how its strange animals came to be, and the protozoa, corals, and echinoderms that people the deep. A pioneering tour of the ocean's least-known frontier. Descend into the black depths and meet the creatures that live there.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
