The Universe Below: Discovering the Secrets of the Deep Sea

Pulitzer Prize winner William J. Broad takes us on an adventure to the planets last and most exotic frontier -- the depths of the sea. The Universe Below examines how we are illuminating its dark recesses as a wave of advanced technology quietly opens the Earths largest and most mysterious environment. Broad takes us on breathtaking dives and expeditions -- to the Azores to the Titanic to hot springs teeming with bizarre life to icy fissures aswarm with gulper eels vampire squids and gelatinous beasts longer than a city bus. We meet legendary explorers and researchers and go with them as they probe the ancient mysteries of a universe that encompasses the vast majority of the Earths habitable space and holds millions of humanitys lost artworks and treasures. The Universe Below is an unforgettable trip to our last great unexplored frontier.
