The Brilliant Abyss by Helen Scales
5.0
“Whenever I return to shore, it always takes time for the sea to let me go.”
I recently wanted to expand the genres of books I read and decided to pick this one up. As someone studying marine biology, I wanted to explore a part of the ocean I knew little about. This book is a great introduction to the abyss. Filled with anecdotes about zombie worms to yeti crabs to hydrothermal vents to seabed mining I was extremely invested in the science of the abyss. Halfway through I decided I need to read more of Scales books. I am 100% sure that I will be referencing this book in future assignments.
