The World Beneath: The Life and Times of Unknown Sea Creatures and Coral Reefs

Dr Richard Smith's book - has to have been a labor love. Years of diving and taking pictures beautifully presented and intertwined with his marine biology and conservationist background come together is the marvelous book. It is readable - enjoyable - scientifically instructional. I've been diving for 50 years and learned of new creatures and how organism interact and support each other in ways I've not seen written about before. 300 + pages and I could not put it down - beyond the science, the storytelling quality keeps you engaged. Treat someone who scuba dives the coral reefs of the world with the gift of this book.
