The Deep by Peter Benchley

The Deep by Peter Benchley

A major academic controversy has raged in recent years over the analysis of the political and religious commitments of Samuel Johnson, the most commanding of the 'commanding heights' of eighteenth-century English letters. This book, one of a trilogy from Palgrave, brings that debate to a decisive conclusion, retrieving the 'historic Johnson.'

Peter Bradford Benchley (May 8, 1940 - February 11, 2006) After graduating from Harvard in 1961, Peter Benchley worked as a reporter for The Washington Post, then as an editor at Newsweek and a speechwriter in the White House. Jaws was his first novel and became a bestseller. It was followed by seven other novels, the nonfiction Shark Trouble, and dozens of magazine articles and television documentaries about the sea. In addition to writing, he worked full-time as a marine conservationist, speaking to audiences around the world and preparing and appearing in many short films for aquariums and museums. Peter Benchley died in 2006.
