The Silent Deep: The Discovery, Ecology, and Conservation of the Deep Sea2 reviews
Tony Koslow
University Of Chicago Press, 2007
A fascinating review of a fascinating field of study
+ An excellent encyclopedia of the deep
I ordered this book hoping for more amazing photographs of newly-discovered deep-sea species like I found in "The Deep", but I got much, much more than that. The review of deep-sea ecology was both incredibly interesting and not too difficult for someone without much experience in marine biology. I ...

Nice General Work....but needs updating
+ Needs tighter editing, and an update.
