AUDIENCE APPEAL: SOME

An account of a 24 day research trip to study the deepest part of the ocean known as the ocean’s twilight zone. The author details the day to day life on the ship, how they weathered the storms, the scientific equipment used, the experiments done, and the discoveries made. 

Cusolito writes a book is full of great photographs of their research trip. The writing style is approachable and interesting. I liked that the human side of the trip was detailed along with the scientific parts. Students who love the ocean will find this book very interesting.
