From Publishers Weekly
Starred Review. Before the recent development of submersibles capable of exploring the ocean more than six miles down, oceanographers gleaned most of what they knew about the denizens of the deep from dead fish in trawler nets. One such creature first captured in 1901, the "vampire squid from hell," turned out to be a living fossil whose origins date back more than 200 million years. Now known to be quite benign, so are most of the creatures depicted in this stunning collection of more than 160 color photoseven the Pacific viperfish, with fangs so long it can't close its mouth, and the spookfish, with its enormous telescopic eyes. Species from as far down as four and a half miles are depicted in exquisite detail; most are mere centimeters long, though the giant squid, a timid creature despite its size, grows to almost 60 feet. Fifteen short, jargon-free essays assembled by editor and French journalist Nouvianwho became enthralled with the deep after visiting the Monterey Bay Aquariumflesh out the fantastical images with scientific fact. They dismiss the myth of deep sea monsters and describe the amazing persistence of life around hydrothermal vents and methane flues; a thoughtful glossary adds to this impressive book's popular appeal. (Apr. 28)

科学雑誌「Nature」の書評で見つけ、購入しました。
素晴らしいです。
大判で美しい深海生物の写真の数々。ため息がでます。
写真の点数を数えたわけではありませんが、150枚以上あるでしょう。
ほとんどの写真が1ページ全体あるいは見開きを占めています。
つまり、デカくて美しい写真がいっぱい。
以下のページでサンプルを見ることが出来ます。
http://www.press.uchicago.edu/books/nouvian/nouvian_gallery.html
実際のページはこれらサンプルよりも大きく、精細で何倍もの迫力があります。
またほとんどの写真について、学名が記されています。
これが5千円以下というのは、本当にお買い得だと思います。
#ページの端に、各写真が撮影された深度を示すスケールがついているのは、面白い工夫ですね。

Response from the author about the computer-generated images
2007/4/10
形式:ハードカバー
Thanks to all who have made such enthusiastic comments about the book, I am very touched but I want to make a specific point about the computer-generated images : it was indeed a mistake in the first print run not to mention that they were "fake" images (there are only 5 of such out of 220 pictures) but they are absolutely mentioned as such in the credits at the end. Also, in the second printrun, the correction was thoroughly integrated so a lot of you who are now buying the book will not be concerned by this comment because the images are now identified as computer-generated.
I'm sorry about this error but it was fixed as soon as we realized it so actually only a few copies are concerned, I hope it won't stop anyone from enjoying the rest of the images made by extremely dedicated and talented researchers.
Best, Claire Nouvian

Incredible - just incredible...
2007/5/13
形式:ハードカバー
Growing up I had tropical (fresh-water) fishtanks. When I got older, I graduated to marine (salt water) tanks. I was, and am, facinated by the creatures that live there, especially "reef" tanks that house the stranger life forms like invertebrates and corals. I eventually took up diving, mostly because it was the only way I could be "inside" my tanks.
"The Deep" is an astonishingly GORGEOUS compilation of the most incredible, other-worldly creatures that inhabit the oceans. THIS is what thrilled me, and still does, about underwater life: it is the closest you will ever get to being on an entirely different planet!

Wonderful Book.
2007/4/25
形式:ハードカバー
This book is great in two ways. The visuals and the idea that you are even looking at these creatures which until recently have been hidden from the world.
There should be no complaints about this book. One, the computer generated images are probably put together by massive information collected on each one of these creatures. It's not something that was "made up" or "fake". So yea, you are seeing something computer generated but you are at least seeing a true depiction of it.
I think its a great book. I love the photography and the layout of it. I am afraid of the water for these specific reasons, because there is much that we do not know about our oceans. And this just brings us a bit closer to understanding some of the creatures that inhabit it.
Great Book.
