The Brilliant Abyss by Helen Scales

2.0

Disappointed by the heavy evolutionary stance and the fact that over half of this book hyperfocuses on environmentalism and climate change. I would’ve enjoyed many more chapters on the actual brilliance of the abyss and its creatures—scaly-foot snails and yeti crabs and bone-eating worms? Soooo cool! More chapters like those, please… the ones that put God’s astonishing creativity on display and nod to all the mystery that still remains to be unveiled. I’m fascinated by all that, but I’m tired of reading about how the earth would be better off without humans.
