A marine biologist vividly brings alive the extraordinary ecosystem of the deep ocean—a realm about which we know less than we do about the Moon—and shows how protecting rather than exploiting it will benefit mankind. “The oceans have always shaped human lives,” writes marine biologist Helen Scales in her vibrant new book  The Brilliant Abyss , but the surface and the very edges have so far mattered the most. “However, one way or another, the future ocean is the deep ocean.” A golden era of deep-sea discovery is underway. Revolutionary studies in the deep are rewriting the very notion of life on Earth and the rules of what is...
