英文简介:
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * From bestselling author Susan Casey, an awe-inspiring portrait of the mysterious world beneath the waves, and the men and women who seek to uncover its secrets “An irresistible mix of splendid scholarship, heart-stopping adventure writing, and vivid, visceral prose.
” –Sy Montgomery, New York Times best-selling author of The Soul of an Octopus For all of human history, the deep ocean has been a source of wonder and terror, an unknown realm that evoked a singular, compelling question: What’s down there? Unable to answer this for centuries, people believed the deep was a sinister realm of fiendish creatures and deadly peril.
But now, cutting-edge technologies allow scientists and explorers to dive miles beneath the surface, and we are beginning to understand this strange and exotic underworld: A place of soaring mountains, smoldering volcanoes, and valleys 7,000 feet deeper than Everest is high, where tectonic plates collide and separate, and extraordinary life forms operate under different rules.
Far from a dark void, the deep is a vibrant realm that’s home to pink gelatinous predators and shimmering creatures a hundred feet long and ancient animals with glass skeletons and sharks that live for half a millennium–among countless other marvels.
Susan Casey is our premiere chronicler of the aquatic world.
For The Underworld she traversed the globe, joining scientists and explorers on dives to the deepest places on the planet, interviewing the marine geologists, marine biologists, and oceanographers who are searching for knowledge in this vast unseen realm.
She takes us on a fascinating journey through the history of deep-sea exploration, from the myths and legends of the ancient world to storied shipwrecks we can now reach on the bottom, to the first intrepid bathysphere pilots, to the scientists who are just beginning to understand the mind-blowing complexity and ecological importance of the quadrillions of creatures who live in realms long thought to be devoid of life.
Throughout this journey, she learned how vital the deep is to the future of the planet, and how urgent it is that we understand it in a time of increasing threats from climate change, industrial fishing, pollution, and the mining companies that are also exploring its depths.
The Underworld is Susan Casey’s most beautiful and thrilling book yet, a gorgeous evocation of the natural world and a powerful call to arms.
中文简介:
《纽约时报》畅销书 * 畅销书作家苏珊·凯西 (Susan Casey) 所著，以令人惊叹的方式描绘了海浪下的神秘世界，以及那些试图揭开其秘密的男人和女人。
生动、发自内心的散文。
” ——西·蒙哥马利，《纽约时报》畅销书《章鱼的灵魂》作者 在整个人类历史中，深海一直是奇迹和恐怖的源泉，这是一个未知的领域，引发了一个独特而引人注目的问题：那里有什么？几个世纪以来，人们都无法回答这个问题，他们相信深海是恶魔生物和致命危险的险恶领域。
但现在，尖端技术使科学家和探险家能够潜入地表以下数英里，我们开始了解这个奇怪而异国情调的地下世界：这里有高耸的山脉、闷烧的火山和比珠穆朗玛峰深 7,000 英尺的山谷，板块碰撞又分离，非凡的生命形式在不同的规则下运作。
远离黑暗的虚空，深处是一个生机勃勃的领域，这里是粉红色凝胶状掠食者和一百英尺长的闪闪发光的生物的家园，还有具有玻璃骨架的古老动物和寿命达五千年的鲨鱼，以及无数其他奇迹。
苏珊·凯西 (Susan Casey) 是我们首屈一指的水生世界编年史家。
在《地下世界》中，她走遍了全球，与科学家和探险家一起潜入地球最深处，采访了正在这个广阔的看不见的领域寻找知识的海洋地质学家、海洋生物学家和海洋学家。
她带我们踏上深海探索历史的迷人之旅，从古代世界的神话传说到我们现在可以到达的海底沉船，到第一批勇敢的深海飞行员，再到刚刚开始的科学家了解生活在长期以来被认为没有生命的领域的数万亿生物的令人惊叹的复杂性和生态重要性。
在整个旅程中，她了解到深海对于地球的未来有多么重要，以及在气候变化、工业捕捞、污染以及也在探索的采矿公司所带来的威胁日益增加的时代，我们了解深海是多么紧迫。
它的深处。
《地下世界》是苏珊·凯西迄今为止最美丽、最惊心动魄的一本书，它对自然世界进行了华丽的描绘，并发出了强有力的战斗号召。
