In 256 pages illustrated with 212 sumptuous photographs, he shows us the mysterious and startling peculiarities of life forms which have evolved under the sea for millions of years. Are you ready to experience the mysteries of the underwater world?

Coral, created by symbiosis between plant and animal, has given life to the seas for 500 million years. Squid, who in order to propagate themselves, relinquish life as soon as they have laid their eggs. Decorator crabs, who disguise themselves by breaking off particles of coral to stick over their bodies. Putterfish, who in their internal organs carry nature's most deadly poison.
