Summary

Underwater Living Pods explores the possibility of establishing permanent underwater settlements, blending earth sciences, geography, and technology. The book examines the engineering challenges of creating submersible habitats, their ecological impact on marine ecosystems, and the socio-economic implications of underwater colonization. It presents a comprehensive overview of this emerging frontier, highlighting advancements in materials science and life support systems that make underwater living increasingly feasible. Early attempts at underwater habitation, both successes and failures, are contextualized to inform current research and development. The book argues that responsibly developed underwater living pods can facilitate sustainable ocean resource management, expanded scientific exploration, and human adaptation to climate change.

 
Structured to progress logically, the book first introduces the engineering principles of underwater habitat design, such as pressure resistance and buoyancy control. It then delves into ecological considerations, examining the impact on marine life and water quality, followed by an analysis of socio-economic factors, including costs, resource extraction potential, and legal frameworks. The book offers a practical, solutions-oriented approach, providing concrete examples of successful technologies and sustainable design principles.

 
The book distinguishes itself by connecting engineering with environmental science and technology with social science, advocating for a holistic approach to minimize ecological damage and address human factors in confined underwater environments. It also links earth sciences with economics, investigating sustainable resource extraction. By providing a framework for evaluating the feasibility and sustainability of underwater living projects, it caters to students, researchers, policymakers, and anyone interested in ocean exploration and sustainable ocean development.

    Across the world, invasive species pose a danger to ecosystems. The UN Convention on Biological Diversity ranks them as a major threat to biodiversity on par with habitat loss, climate change, and pollution. Tackling this isn't easy, and no one knows this better than Hugh Warwick, a conservationist who loathes the idea of killing, harming, or even eating animals. Yet as an ecologist, he is acutely aware of the need, at times, to kill invasive species whose presence harms the wider environment. 
 
 
 
Hugh explores the complex history of species control, revealing the global movement of species and the impacts of their presence. Combining scientific theory with gentle humor in his signature style, he explains the issues conservationists face to control non-native animals and protect native species—including grey and red squirrels on Anglesey, ravens and tortoises in the Mojave Desert, cane toads in Australia, and the smooth-billed ani on the Galapagos—and describes cases like Pablo Escobar's cocaine hippos and the Burmese python pet trade. 
 
 
 
Taking a balanced and open approach to this emotive subject, Hugh speaks to experts on all sides of the debate. How do we protect endangered native species? Which species do we prioritize? And how do we reckon with the ethics of killing anything in the name of conservation?
