Under Pressure: Biodiversity in Deep-Sea Environments takes you on an exploration into the extraordinary realm of deep-sea ecosystems. Unrivaled in its vastness, these aquatic environments harbor an array of unique and exquisite life forms. From bioluminescent organisms illuminating the darkness to bizarre creatures adapted to extreme pressure and temperatures, the deep sea is a treasure trove of fascinating biodiversity waiting to be discovered. But amidst this mesmerizing beauty, there lurks an invisible danger. Under Pressure delves into the threatening forces that challenge the fragile balance of deep-sea biodiversity. As humankind's footprint extends even into these remote areas, unparalleled pressures are being exerted on these ancient ecosystems, endangering the delicate web of life that has thrived for millennia. Drawing from the work of pioneering scientists and activists, this book uncovers the heartbreaking realities faced by deep-sea environments in the global race for resources. From destructive bottom trawling and mining expeditions to the harmful effects of climate change and pollution, the majestic inhabitants of the deep sea bear the weight of these mounting pressures. Immersing you in the depths of this complex underworld, Under Pressure sheds light on the urgent need for conservation and sustainable practices to safeguard the profound biological diversity that exists far below the waves. With alarming statistics and concrete evidence, it calls upon individuals and nations to embrace responsibility and take action to preserve deep-sea ecosystems. Captivating and thought-provoking, Under Pressure: Biodiversity in Deep-Sea Environments guides you through the secret wonders of these mysterious realms while confronting the harsh realities they face. It serves as both a testament to the astonishing resilience of nature and a rallying cry for the protection of our last true wildernesses on Earth. Journey with us into the depths and discover the hidden treasures that lay beneath the surface of our magnificent oceans.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “It was the first time I’d seen what the ocean may have looked like thousands of years ago.” That’s conservation scientist Gregory S. Stone talking about his initial dive among the corals and sea life surrounding the Phoenix Islands in the South Pacific. Worldwide, the oceans are suffering. Corals are dying off at an alarming rate, victims of ocean warming and acidification—and their loss threatens more than 25 percent of all fish species, who depend on the food and shelter found in coral habitats. Yet in the waters off the Phoenix Islands, the corals were healthy, the fish populations pristine and abundant—and Stone and his companion on the dive, coral expert David Obura, determined that they were going to try their best to keep it that way. Underwater Eden tells the story of how they succeeded, against great odds, in making that dream come true, with the establishment in 2008 of the Phoenix Islands Protected Area (PIPA). It’s a story of cutting-edge science, fierce commitment, and innovative partnerships rooted in a determination to find common ground among conservationists, business interests, and governments—all backed up by hard-headed economic analysis. Creating the world’s largest (and deepest) UNESCO World Heritage Site was by no means easy or straightforward. Underwater Eden takes us from the initial dive, through four major scientific expeditions and planning meetings over the course of a decade, to high-level negotiations with the government of Kiribati—a small island nation dependent on the revenue from the surrounding fisheries. How could the people of Kiribati, and the fishing industry its waters supported, be compensated for the substantial income they would be giving up in favor of posterity? And how could this previously little-known wilderness be transformed into one of the highest-profile international conservation priorities? Step by step, conservation and its priorities won over the doubters, and Underwater Eden is the stunningly illustrated record of what was saved. Each chapter reveals—with eye-popping photographs—a different aspect of the science and conservation of the underwater and terrestrial life found in and around the Phoenix Islands’ coral reefs. Written by scientists, politicians, and journalists who have been involved in the conservation efforts since the beginning, the chapters brim with excitement, wonder, and confidence—tempered with realism and full of lessons that the success of PIPA offers for other ambitious conservation projects worldwide. Simultaneously a valentine to the diversity, resilience, and importance of the oceans and a riveting account of how conservation really can succeed against the toughest obstacles, Underwater Eden is sure to enchant any ocean lover, whether ecotourist or armchair scuba diver.

Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Inspired by a profound experience swimming with wild dolphins off the coast of Maui, the bestselling author of The Wave set out on a quest to learn everything she could about dolphins—the other intelligent life on the planet. “Part science, part memoir, part impassioned plea for change.” —People Susan Casey’s journey takes her from a community in Hawaii known as “Dolphinville,” where the animals are seen as the key to spiritual enlightenment, to the dark side of the human-cetacean relationship at marine parks and dolphin-hunting grounds in Japan and the Solomon Islands, to the island of Crete, where the Minoan civilization lived in harmony with dolphins, providing a millennia-old example of a more enlightened coexistence with the natural world. Along the way, Casey recounts the history of dolphin research and introduces us to the leading marine scientists and activists who have made it their life’s work to increase humans’ understanding and appreciation of the wonder of dolphins.

Book excerpt: A page-turning novel that is also an exploration of the great philosophical concepts of Western thought, Jostein Gaarder's Sophie's World has fired the imagination of readers all over the world, with more than twenty million copies in print. One day fourteen-year-old Sophie Amundsen comes home from school to find in her mailbox two notes, with one question on each: "Who are you?" and "Where does the world come from?" From that irresistible beginning, Sophie becomes obsessed with questions that take her far beyond what she knows of her Norwegian village. Through those letters, she enrolls in a kind of correspondence course, covering Socrates to Sartre, with a mysterious philosopher, while receiving letters addressed to another girl. Who is Hilde? And why does her mail keep turning up? To unravel this riddle, Sophie must use the philosophy she is learning—but the truth turns out to be far more complicated than she could have imagined.
