Beschreibung

The ocean is the last remaining source of profound mystery and discovery on Earth. With eighty percent of it still largely unexplored, it is endlessly fascinating.  
 
In Kraken: The Curious, Exciting, and Slightly Disturbing Science of Squid, journalist Wendy Williams introduces one of the ocean’s most charismatic, monstrous, and enigmatic inhabitants: the squid. More than just calamari, squid species are fascinatingly odd creatures, with much to teach us about our own species.  
 
Williams examines it all, from the enormous beast that is the giant squid, which is quick to attack sperm whales, submarines, and boats, to the octopus and the cuttlefish, and explores their otherworldly abilities, such as camouflage and bioluminescence. Kraken takes the reader on a wild ride through the world of  
squid science and adventure, along the way answering some riddles about how the human brain works, what intelligence really is, and what monsters lie in the deep.
