The oceans create, shape, and sustain not only human life but life across the Earth, and perhaps beyond. Deep Water is an assessment of humanity's complex relationship with these oceans.

In this fascinating work — a blend of history, science, nature, and environmental writing — distinguished author James Bradley delves into the unknown to explore the deepest corners of the natural world, guiding readers from the creation of the oceans to their remarkable aspects, such as schools of fish using electromagnetic sensing to migrate globally. He describes how human populations navigated the world with boats and analyzes the environmental destruction already affecting our lives. Deep Water celebrates the glories of the ocean and the extraordinary efforts of scientists and researchers deciphering its secrets.

Offering vital new ways to understand humanity's place on our planet, Bradley shows that the oceans may save us all.
