520 1 $a"Trevor Norton's eye for the bizarre and beautiful inhabitants of the oceans - and for the eccentric characters who work, study, and live by the shore - makes Underwater to Get Out of the Rain irresistibly fascinating. An intrepid diver and distinguished scientist, Norton is also a gifted and often hilarious storyteller. Whether swimming among jewel anemones in an Irish lough, sharing a giant California cavern with sea lions, or diving in the glittering coral gardens of Sharm el Sheikh, he captures it all unforgettably in his prose." "Following the shoreline with earlier beachcombers such as Charles Darwin, John Steinbeck, and George Orwell, he also takes the reader to depths where the shapes of creatures living without sunlight defy imagination. At a time when this magical world is under siege, when coral atolls are dynamited, sonar blasts shatter the eardrums of whales, and fishing grounds are vacuumed into deserts by draggers, he allows us to share his intoxication with the salty and wet seven-tenths of our planet."--BOOK JACKET.
