Many Things Under a Rock: The Mysteries of Octopuses (Paperback)
David Scheel (author)Published: 07/03/2024
Covering just about everything you didn't realise you needed to know about octopuses, Scheel's endlessly fascinating volume combines cutting edge science and anecdotes of intrepid adventure to unputdownable effect.
The octopus is a highly intelligent and deeply mysterious creature. It can communicate in sophisticated ways, change colour and texture in a split second, and sense aspects of the world that we cannot.
Marine biologist David Scheel's lifelong preoccupation with these animals has led to a career of groundbreaking research. Here he shares his latest scientific understanding of octopuses and recounts his intrepid adventures with these charismatic creatures.
Many Things Under a Rock celebrates octopuses as complex emotional beings and reveals what they can teach us about ourselves.
