The Deep-Sea Floor

The Deep-Sea Floor introduces the strange creatures that survive without sunlight at the bottom of the ocean, from bioluminescent fish to giant tube worms, alongside a history of deep-sea exploration from sonar to submersibles. Marine biologist Sneed B. Collard III pairs rich, realistic illustrations with accessible science writing. This is a great choice for students because it opens up an alien, rarely-seen habitat and shows how scientists continue to explore it.
