Sandy shores -- Rocky shores -- Gulf of California -- Northeast Pacific -- Kelp forest -- Coral reefs -- Indo-West Pacific -- Research cruise experience -- Open ocean -- Subsea vehicles -- Gulf of Mexico -- Midwater depths -- Deep scattering layer -- Hydrothermal vents -- Food falls -- Deep-sea floor.

"Field Museum Associate Curator of Zoology and specialist in cephalopod mollusks, Janet Voight, has partnered with Peggy Macnamara, Artist-in-Residence at the Museum, to provide readers with an understanding of the ocean and its animals from the seashore to the seafloor. This book combines rich scientific descriptions of the animals that inhabit rocky and sandy shores, the fragility of coral reefs, and the ingenuity of creatures that must search for food in the ocean's depths, where light and heat are rare. The book includes beautiful watercolors of all these ecosystems and other scenes experienced by Voight during research cruises in the ocean's depths using the submersible Alvin, operated by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. A foreword by award-winning science writer David Quammen situates the importance of Voight's work, including her studies of octopuses. The book also includes a series of artist's notes that allows readers to understand the techniques that Macnamara developed to create the book's stunning visual effects"--
