The Extreme Life of the Sea with author Steve Palumbi

Palumbi,
one of today’s leading marine scientists, takes us to the absolute limits of
the aquatic world—the fastest and deepest, the hottest and oldest creatures of
the oceans. Diving into the icy Arctic and boiling hydrothermal vents he
exposes the eternal darkness of the deepest undersea trenches to show how
marine life thrives against the odds.

But these fragile ecosystems
face new challenges - climate change and overfishing could pose the greatest
threats yet to our planet’s tenacious marine life. Palumbi shares unforgettable
stories of some of the most marvelous life forms on Earth and reveals
surprising lessons of how we humans can learn to adapt to climate change.
