Below the Edge of Darkness: A Memoir of Exploring Light and Life in the Deep Sea

byEdith Widder

Edith Widder's Below the Edge of Darkness investigates the experience of exploring light and life in the deep sea, grounding a large subject in the people and choices that shaped it. Using biographical detail, personal testimony, and historical context, Below the Edge of Darkness moves between close observation and a wider account of the systems surrounding its subject. By placing Below the Edge of Darkness within biography & autobiography and science, the book reveals why its central tensions extend well beyond one person, place, or moment.
