Abstract: The sea, cradle of primordial life, is where the roots of our existence sprouted. Billions of years of evolution have produced a captivating array of forms, colors, and behaviors, from which we are only beginning to gain insights. This exploration allows us to reflect on the manifestations of all life forms, including our own. In 13 chapters featuring 60 engaging "wanted posters," the book describes numerous astonishing phenomena of marine fauna without overwhelming the reader with technical jargon. Over 330 underwater color photos enhance the text, striking a balance between visuals and narrative. The inquiry into broader relationships sparks curiosity and provides answers where science has already explored. A fascinating macrocosm emerges, highlighting the unique connections among marine fauna, evolution, and ecological systems. This work is more than a picture book; it combines aesthetic pleasure with informative content. Personal experiences enrich the narrative, making learning enjoyable. The author, Dr. Werner Grüter, a university professor of neurology and psychiatry, has dedicated decades to marine biology. As an experienced scuba diver and underwater photographer, he offers firsthand insights and captivating explanations of complex scientific concepts, making the subject accessible and engaging. His enthusiasm and commitment to clear communication of science shine through in this work.
