Into the Deep by David Sheldon
To be a naturalist is better than to be a king.--William Beebe's journal, December 31, 1893 William Beebe was a pioneer in the field of ecology, the father of deep-sea exploration, and an avid conservationist. This picture-book biography charts the life of this famous naturalist from his childhood studying animals in New Jersey through his later years studying birds at the research station he started in Trinidad. Back matter includes quotes from Beebe, a glossary of terms, and an illustrated cross section of the Bathysphere, which Beebe helped design.
David Sheldon has illustrated numerous books, but this is his first time as author and illustrator. On the subject of Barnum he says that, Like a lot of kids, the first dinosaur to capture my imagination was Tyrannosaurus Rex. But it never occurred to me that someone had actually discovered the fearsome beast! It has been a real thrill to unearth Barnum Brown's story and learn of his legacy. David lives in Brooklyn, New York, with wife Margit, their children, William, Sarah, and Christopher, and a very large cast of a dinosaur track!
