Extreme Life of the Sea

You think you're having a hard day?  Imagine living next to a boiling hypothermic vent deep under the ocean.  Or having to use a built-in search light on your head to hunt for dinner.

My wife who works at Village Books pointed this out to me.  Stephen and Anthony Palumbi will be speaking at the store this Sunday at 4 PM.  Stephen is a professor of marine science and his son Anthony is a science writer.

Their book Extreme Life of the Sea describes the creatures that live in the most extreme conditions in the ocean.  It includes information on how human beings and climate change are effecting the lifes of these rugged extremists.
