The Brilliant Abyss by Helen Scales
4.0
Very informative and well organized exploration of the deep!
I appreciated the way the author walked readers through the background of what the deep sea is and the wonders that fill it, before moving on to the human-sea relationship.
Although this was a book designed to teach, it also demands action from readers, laying out practical ways to be an activist in defense of the deep.
I left with a newfound appreciation and understanding of an area that I only had surface level knowledge of previously. At times I did have to push myself to keep reading, but I’m glad that I did.
