Scientists in the Field series.
The book follows scientist Rich Lutz, a marine biologist who studies the undersea ecosystems found at hydrothermal vents. Mallory adeptly conveys the thrill of discovery and excitement in this field, where every dive brings new finds that expand scientific thinking. Plentiful color photographs allow readers to examine the deep-sea creatures in situ as well as up close. Reading list. Glos., ind.

Scientists in the Field series.
Mallory uses the context of an IMAX film production to explain how scientists--in particular, marine biologist Pete Klimley--are studying these odd-looking animals. After talking with Klimley, Mallory travels to Cocos Island, where the filmmakers are wrapping up a year of filming sharks. Mallory's exhilarating shark encounters and detailed explanations of the filming apparatus compose the later chapters. Outstanding color photos accompany the text. Bib., ind.
