The Brilliant Abyss

3.5

A really interesting, informative and well written book. Good for anyone like me who, admittedly, doesn't know much!

You really should pay attention to the subtitle because I feel almost tricked into reading environmentalism. Which is all fine and good but not what I signed up for. The bits about actual deep sea were far more interesting when talking about environmentalism it became increasingly more general. It also wasn't structured very well, history personal anecdotes, actual deep sea info, and bits about environmentalism were just strung together with no rhyme or reason. I wouldn't say do not read this as it has a lot of interesting (and some very depressing) info if you're interested in the topic, and if there are better books covering these things I do not know of them yet.
