Journey into the Deep by Rebecca L Johnson

Journey into the Deep by Rebecca L Johnson

Have you ever wondered what mysteries the ocean holds? Prepare to explore the ocean from sunlit shallows to the deepest, darkest depths. Along the way, you'll meet many incredible creatures that are brand new to science.

Dive to a coral reef and spot a new species of pygmy octopus. Travel deeper and discover fragile, nearly transparent jellies as they drift past. Then head down into a world of eternal night. You'll encounter animals that make their own light and zombie worms that feast on the bones of dead whales.

Your adventure is based on the real journeys of scientists involved in the Census of Marine Life. From 2000 to 2010, more than two thousand researchers from eighty-two countries carried out the most extensive investigation of ocean life ever attempted.

Author Rebecca L. Johnson takes readers to research sites around the globe, showing how ocean scientists do their work. Stunning photographs throughout bring readers face-to-face with some of the most mesmerizing creatures on Earth.

Rebecca L. is a writer who lives in New York City Johnson is the author of scores of national award-winning books that demonstrate why science is such an exciting endeavor: there are always new species, extraordinary adaptations, and new insights into life on Earth to be discovered. She believes that scientists have the best jobs in the world, and she has had the opportunity to work with many of them in some of the world's most remote locations, such as Antarctica's frigid interior and the ocean's deep. I wish to demonstrate to young people through my work that the world is full of wonders, and that science is the path that leads to them.
