Book excerpt: This book showcases possibly the first ever comprehensive nudibranch survey along the Dauin coastline in the Philippines! Authors and photographers Justin Carmack and Finn Snow started documenting every nudibranch species they could find in 2021, along the coast of Negros Oriental; primarily Dauin. During this time they were able to capture around 300 incredible nudibranch species, many of which had never been seen there, and half of which have never been described by science. They even found one species that is possibly a brand new discovery! This book doesn't just showcase incredible nudibranch species with amazing photography, it also covers species of pleurobranchs, polybranchs, seahares and marine flatworms; all close relatives to the nudibranch, and just as colorful and interesting. In these 345 pages, you are guaranteed to see something you've never seen before, as well as be awed by the incredible photography these divers were able to achieve. But this isn't just an ordinary photo book. It also contains tons of scientific findings and observations, excerpts from marine biologists, and even stories of certain nudibranchs that were elusive and hard to finally find and photograph. This book covers it all. And if you were thinking of coming to the Philippines to see amazing critters, and didn't know where to go, after reading this book you are guaranteed to want to catch that next flight to Dauin. In fact, the authors didn't just cover Dauin, during their nudibranch species survey. Included in this book are species from all over the island of Negros Oriental, such as Dumaguete, Bacong, Zamboanguita, Siaton, Apo Island, and Basay. So whether you just want to see some amazing nudibranch species that you probably never knew existed, or you want to see what lives under the seas of Negros, or, maybe, you justt want to follow the journey of Justin Carmack and Finn Snow as they discover more and more locations and critters...Then this book is just what you need. About the authors: Justin Carmack and Finn Snow both run their own popular YouTube channels, named Critter Hunter and Finn Snow, where, via video, they document SCUBA diving locations and the critters they find under the waves. This naturally lead to their first book, where they found around 300 species of nudibranch, to create the most comprehensive scientific survey ever done in Negros Oriental of the Philippines. They are still based in Dauin, working on the second edition, which will have even more awesome species.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world's greatest migration of animal life occurs every evening when uncountable numbers of mostly small marine organisms rise up from the dark, chilly depths of the open ocean to its surface waters. The people who witness this nighttime migration are blackwater divers"€"brave divers who throw themselves off a boat in the dark of night in open ocean waters that are, for all practical purposes, bottomless. The animals that we encounter range in size from baby squids smaller than a pinky nail to forty-foot long jellyfish called siphonophores. Kona is the birthplace and world headquarters for blackwater diving. Its proximity to deep water and favorable ocean conditions make Hawai'i the perfect place for blackwater diving, but divers can also visit places such as Florida, the Philippines, Indonesia, and even Papua New Guinea to see many similar animals. Blackwater Diving in Hawai'i is designed to satisfy the curious ocean aficionado by presenting beautiful photos and information on over 300 strange pelagic animals, most of which you won't find in a standard field guide to reef animals. This book is intended to present an overview of life in the open ocean at night. Each epipelagic creature is given five minutes in the spotlight to explore a little of what we know about them.

Book excerpt: Eloquent, practical and wise, this book by one of the world’s most important scientists—and two time Pulitzer Prize winner—should be read and studied by anyone concerned with the fate of the natural world.

Wilson assesses the precarious state of our environment, examining the mass extinctions occurring in our time and the natural treasures we are about to lose forever. Yet, rather than eschewing doomsday prophesies, he spells out a specific plan to save our world while there is still time. His vision is a hopeful one, as economically sound as it is environmentally necessary.
