Des démonstrations éoustouantes de couleurs et de lumire rovenant d’un large éventail de formes de vie océanique, avec des hotograhies éclatantes et un texte éclairant sur la science de la transarence, de la bioluminescence et de la uorescence. Dans les profondeurs de l’océan, une myriade de créatures, dont les méduses, les coraux, les crevettes, les requins, les calmars, les poissons-lanternes, les baudroies, les lucioles de mer et les vers de feu, utilisent des lumières multicolores pour se défendre, arer leur nourriture, leurs partenaires et communiquer. The Radiant Sea présente une nouvelle perspective passionnante sur l’environnement mystérieux qui re- présente 99 de l’espace habitable sur erre, mais qui reste caché à l’observateur occasionnel. Deux des plus grands chercheurs au monde explorent la nature de la lumière sous-marine, en étudiant les variétés de transparence, de pigmentation, d’iridescence, de bioluminescence et de uorescence. En se basant sur les dernières recherches disponibles, ils examinent la nécessité - et la fonction probable - des couleurs et des spectacles lumineux chez les espèces marines. haque merveille lumineuse est décrite par des légendes informatives et représentée de faon colorée par les plus belles photographies de nature.

Steven Haddock studies marine diversity, molecular biology, and bioluminescence at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute and the University of California, Santa Cruz. Documenting creatures in the deep sea and capturing their luminescent displays, many for the first time, he aims to increase an appreciation and understanding of the ocean's inhabitants. His imagery and research have been featured in National Geographic, the New York Times, and BBC documentaries, among many others. His other books include the manual Scientific Blue-water Diving and the textbook Practical Computing for Biologists. Sönke Johnsen first trained in math and art and has studied light in nature for 33 years, the last 22 of which have been at Duke University. He is particularly interested in vision, signaling, and camouflage in the open sea. His field work primarily involves open-ocean research cruises that use scuba and deep sea manned and robotic submersibles. Johnsen's research has been featured in the movie Finding Nemo, the Magic Tree House book series, the poetry of John Updike, and the humor of Dave Barry. Helen Scales is a marine biologist, acclaimed author, and broadcaster. Her books, including The Brilliant Abyss and the Baillie Gifford longlisted What the Wild Sea Can Be, have been adapted for stage and screen and translated into 15 languages. Among her books for young readers are the global bestseller What a Shell Can Tell and Scientists in the Wild, Antarctica, which was shortlisted for the Children's Travel Book of the Year 2025. Scales teaches at Cambridge University and is a storytelling ambassador for the Save Our Seas Foundation. She divides her time between Cambridge, England, and the French Atlantic coast.
Breathtaking displays of color and light from an array of ocean life forms, with vivid photography and insightful text about the science of transparency, bioluminescence, and fluorescence.
Deep in the ocean, a myriad of creatures, including jellyfish, coral, shrimp, sharks, squid, lantern fish, anglerfish, sea fireflies, and fireworms use multi-colored lights for defense, luring food, attracting mates, and communication.
