Susan Casey is our premiere chronicler of the aquatic world. For The Underworld, she traversed the globe, joining scientists and explorers on dives to the deepest places on the planet, interviewing marine geologists, marine biologists, and oceanographers who are searching for knowledge in this vast, unseen realm. She takes us on a fascinating journey through the history of deep-sea exploration, from the myths and legends of the ancient world to storied ship-wrecks we can now reach on the bottom, to the first intrepid bathysphere pilots, to the scientists who are just beginning to understand the mind-blowing complexity and ecological importance of the quadrillions of creatures that live in realms long thought to be devoid of life. In light of the OceanGate Titan submersible implosion (and while awaiting the final report on it), this book is an extraordinary look at what it takes to make it to the depths of the planet, where less people have been to than space.
