Why it’s great
""I took several fast deep breaths, adjusted my face mask, checked the safety lock on my speargun, and dived back down into the Red Sea."" So begins Eugenie Clark's classic memoir of becoming a professional ichthyologist — not through a laboratory, but through expeditions to the West Indies, Pacific islands, and the Red Sea. A Book-of-the-Month Club selection combining genuine scientific discovery with the warmth and adventure of a life devoted to fish.
