From the author of Nursery Earth, a nimble, fast, surprising, smart, and weird in the very coolest sense of the word (Sy Montgomery) exploration of the sometimes enormous, often bizarre creatures that ruled the seas long before the first dinosaursa Science Friday Book Club Pick Cephalopods, Earths first truly substantial animals, are still among us: Their fascinating family tree features squid, octopuses, nautiluses, and more. The inventors of swimming, cephs presided over the sea for millions of years. But when fish evolved jaws, cephs had to step up their game (or end up on the menu). Some evolved defensive spines. Others abandoned their shells entirely, opening the floodgates for a tidal wave of innovation: masterful camouflage, finsupplemented jet propulsion, and intelligence weve yet to fully measure. In Monarchs of the Sea, marine biologist Danna Staaf unspools how these otherworldly creatures once ruled the deepand why they still captivate us today.Publishers Note: Monarchs of the Sea was previously published in hardcover as Squid Empire. 33 B&W photographs and illustrations
