Title: The Deep
Date: 2023
Publisher: Penguin Workshop (an imprint of Penguin Random House)
Writer: Lindsey Leigh
Artist: Lindsey Leigh
This is an illustrated survey of the creatures of the deep ocean, full of some amazing biology mixed with a lot of goofy humor. The author does a great job of highlighting some of the most interesting adaptations to life in the ocean depths, organizing most of the book by the different zone of the deep sea. There are also some special topics such as chemosynthesis and whalefalls that get a bit of extra coverage.
Some really alien-looking creatures come off as quite charming, and the range of deep sea life that is included is impressive, given the size of the book.
Rating: 7.5/10
