Selected Reviews
“There’s no end to the ocean’s mystery. Earth’s 336-million cubic miles
of ocean is richly inhabited, and Creatures of the Deep is a magnificent
bestiary of that watery world.” — Popular Science
“Combines dramatic photographs with extraordinary tales of undersea
life…Startling facts abound, and Hoyt’s enthusiasm for his subject shows on
every page.” — Publishers Weekly, New York
“Elegant writing…stunning photographs. The cover is like a jack-o-lantern of
the deep.” — American Scientist
Reviewed in the Toronto Globe and Mail's Christmas gift book guide – “Best
100 books.”
“With good science and history and a clear, fresh voice, Erich Hoyt guides the
reader straight down the ocean to the bottom and least known part of Earth”
– EO Wilson, Harvard Univ. professor & twice Pulitzer Prize winner.
