I picked up An Immense World: How Animal Senses Reveal the Hidden Realms Around Us by Ed Yong in the library and I’m really loving it. I was never good at biology in school, but the different survival strategies of animals and plants were always fascinating to me. I’m looking for books like the one by Ed Yong that explain how different organisms survive in an accessible way, so something that explains more complicated concepts, but doesn’t expect the reader to already know it or that doesn’t just leave them out. (Yong’s book reads like a documentary). I’d especially love recommendations for books specifically about the deep sea

The Soul of an Octopus
Of Time and Turtles
*The light eaters* by Zoe Schlanger is a lot like *An immense world* but for plants.
*Otherlands* by Thomas Halliday and *Rise and reign of the mammals* by Steve Brusatte are both good histories of evolutionary biology and ecology.
*How far the light reaches* by Sabrina Imbler is half memoir, half deep sea biology. Both halves are good but I think you’d at least like the deep sea aspects.
