Below the Edge of Darkness: A Memoir of Exploring Light and Life in the Deep Sea by Edith Widder
adventurous
informative
inspiring
slow-paced
4.0
A beautiful memoir of the ocean and bioluminescence. As a woman, i found Dr. Widder’s enormous successes in a male-dominated field incredibly inspiring. Her passion for the ocean bursts out of every page, and she describes deep ocean scenes with immense detail and fascination.
The book was slightly too science-heavy for me, but it was all still digestible and engaging. I loved reading about her stories, hardships, and expert opinion on the ocean.
