(Please read this in the style of a nervous child presenting their favorite picture book to Levar Burton on Reading Rainbow) If you have ever stood gazing at the sea and felt a sense of calm, this book can help you replace that with dumbstruck wonder. Deep takes you on a journey to the depths of the ocean that starts on page one with a simple question on the surface and leaves you in the darkest depths wanting more as it concludes.

This is a rare book that I am confident recommending to almost everyone I meet. A perfect balance of personal narrative and scientific inquiry, this is the ideal book to get lost in while relaxing on a sailboat. You'll glance up from the pages and see more wonder and intrigue than you knew to look for.
