Book Description
NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A riveting, adrenaline-fueled tour of a vast, lawless, and rampantly criminal world that few have ever seen: the high seas. There are few remaining frontiers on our planet. But perhaps the wildest, and least understood, are the world's oceans: too big to police, and under no clear international authority, these immense regions of treacherous water play host to rampant criminality and exploitation. Traffickers and smugglers, pirates and mercenaries, wreck thieves and repo men, vigilante conservationists and elusive poachers, seabound abortion providers, clandestine oil-dumpers, shackled slaves and cast-adrift stowaways—drawing on five years of perilous and intrepid reporting, often hundreds of miles from shore, Ian Urbina introduces us to the inhabitants of this hidden world. Through their stories of astonishing courage and brutality, survival and tragedy, he uncovers a globe-spanning network of crime and exploitation that emanates from the fishing, oil, and shipping industries, and on which the world's economies rely. Both a gripping adventure story and a stunning exposé, this unique work of reportage brings fully into view for the first time the disturbing reality of a floating world that connects us all, a place where anyone can do anything because no one is watching.

Book Description
The ocean affects the global climate and weather, and also plays a critical role in the carbon cycle. Although the origin of the ocean is unknown, it is generally believed that it has existed since the Hadean and is the driving force for the origin of all living creatures. Sea water covers about 70% of the earth′s surface, with an average depth of about 3680 meters. In contrast, the average height of the global exposed surface is only 860 meters. The deepest part of the ocean, the Mariana Trench, is 11,000 meters deep, which is nearly 2,200 meters more than Mount Everest, which is 8,848 meters. Humans have laid their footprints all over the world′s land, but only 5% of the ocean has been explored. As a habitat for creatures, there are about 230,000 species currently identified in the ocean, and most of the abyssal sea remains unexplored. It is estimated that there will be more than 2 million marine species. Now, follow our lead to explore this beautiful and mysterious realm! First of all, let′s start from 1 meter below sea level…
