If you, like me, only knew Beebe from his writings for young readers, you will be surprised and delighted to know this Beebe. I cannot imagine anyone writing more poetically about simple sea life. Imagine seeing the Third Day of Creation in a Halicystis [green grape-sized floating single-cell alga]! I mourn the loss of the leisurely pace of writing and living reflected in this book.
