We are thrilled to accompany author, Susan Casey in "Uncovering the Ocean's Deepest Secrets". In her latest book, The Underworld: Journeys to the Depths of the Ocean, she embedded for seven years with explorers and marine scientists as they endeavored to unravel the deep sea’s many mysteries.
Is the giant squid a ferocious predator or a shy opportunist? What’s it like at the bottom of the Mariana Trench? Why are ancient marine microbes the source of our next-generation medicines? Did life begin at a hydrothermal vent? Casey unveils the latest discoveries and the technologies making them possible—and explains why a deeper understanding of the undersea world is essential if we hope to thrive in the world above.
