From internationally-renowned marine biologist Dr. Richard Smith comes a colorful underwater journey into the homes of hundreds of unknown sea creatures.

Dr. Richard Smith has dived into the ocean more than thirty-five hundred times. He regularly comes face to face with sea animals most of us have never heard of, and certainly never seen. In The World Beneath, Dr. Smith takes us through the mysterious, sprawling deep blue sea and introduces us to its jaw-dropping, but unknown residents.

Through his mesmerizing words and his award-winning photography featured throughout, we venture deep into the unknown with him as our guide. We meet his beloved pygmy seahorse, which he is the world's leading expert on. We dive with him in the Atlantic, the Pacific, and the Indian Ocean. We meet the likes of pearlfish, fangblennies, walking sharks, and much more.

Many of the creatures Dr. Smith introduces us to are friendly, others are deadly, but they're all fascinating. Sadly, many of them are in jeopardy with likely extinction ahead. We get to meet them before it's too late.

This exquisite and beautifully designed volume give extraordinary insight, shows the striking colors of the sea creatures, and give a remarkable up-close view of their world.
