Books
Shipwreck, a series of photos from 1860-1967 of wrecks "fresh daily" as seen from the shores of Cornwall, by a Gibson family based on the Scilly isles, together with some marvellous contextual history and anecdotes by the late John Fowles. Some stunning pics. As chosen by the delightfully named Bella Bathurst for herlist of top ten books about the sea.
Shadow Divers - bought another copy in the states, and now met the heroes, Chatterton and Kohler, at the London Dive Show. The first third of the book has enough death-by-diving to put one off one's hobby, nearly.
Richard Dawkins's The Ancestor's Tale - plenty of goodness re: hagfish & lampreys, sharks, corals and algae. That Darwin was quite a fella. If only we could time-machine a SCUBA set back to him. a regulator planted in the middle of that flowing white beard...the staring eyes under heavy brow...
INCOMING:
The World Underwater Book - there's cleavage and a shark on the cover.
Tim Ecott's Neutral Buoyancy. At some point...
A trio of Hans Hass Meisterwerken - courtesy of Jimbob.
2 more Sandman compendia
Running out of time...must...read...faster....
