An impressive collection of photographs and expert commentaries that shed light on the most mysterious creatures of the deep. Jellyfish appear in an astonishing variety of colors, shapes, and sizes, floating in every ocean, from the surface to the depths of the sea, and can even be found in fresh waters. These ancient creatures, also known as sea jellies (since they are not technically fish), are so otherworldly and luminous that it is no wonder they are often compared to mythical transformative beings. Some are so delicate they are shattered by the slightest disturbance of the water, while the resilience of others allows them to endure almost any temperature, any salinity, starvation, and even decapitation. Some are biologically immortal. This visually stunning book features 100 species of jellyfish, from the ubiquitous Aurelia to the enigmatic Velella, along with incredible facts about these fascinating marine creatures. Some are astonishing, others bizarre, some poisonous, some deadly. Each one is remarkable and has a story to tell. An introduction by the renowned expert Lisa-ann Gershwin, with her commentary throughout the book, invites you to explore the wondrous world of jellyfish.
