Summary: This book shouldn't be this good
Comment: When I think of the deep I think visually of the animals down there. This book has very poor pictures of these creatures and thus should not be very good. But Broad does an excellent job of telling a story from beginning to end with each chapter being a self contained story of man's exploration into the deep. One chapter is on the research being done around Monterey CA, another about the history of deep sea mining, another on deep sea nuclear dumps, all of which are great stories. It is a little light on the biological but makes up for it in giving the reader an understanding of how we got to where we are today.
Rating: 4
Summary: A lively introduction to deep sea exploration
Comment: In this wide-ranging volume, New York Times science writer Broad shows us different dimensions of the deep sea. He covers scientific exploration of deep sea life and hydrothermal vents, military activities including intelligence gathering and the search for a lost H-bomb, mineral exploration, and treasure-seeking. While none of his chapters offer comprehensive coverage, they do whet the appetite. Broad's writing style is lively and sometimes personal. The illustrations by Dmitry Schidlovsky may be artistically interesting, but photographs and maps would have been more useful.
