Inhaltsangabe

Underwater worlds, shipwrecks, strange creatures, and the ocean secrets we're still trying to figure out.

Herring talk to each other by farting. The first photo of an intact giant squid was taken in a bathroom. And the deepest piece of trash ever found on the seafloor is a plastic bag, almost seven miles down.

The Ultimate Bathroom Book of Deep Sea Mysteries takes you on a 450-fact dive from the surface to the bottom of the Mariana Trench. Every page goes a little deeper, and a depth gauge in the margin shows how far down you are: through the sunlit water, the twilight zone, the midnight dark and the abyss.

Inside, you'll discover:

• How a hagfish can choke a shark with slime in under half a second
• Why islanders once made at least 24,000 bottles of a shipwreck's whisky disappear
• Why a desk in the White House is made from an Arctic ghost ship
• Which sea monsters were real animals, and which were a monkey sewn onto a fish
• Who went down into the deep in a barrel, a bell and a steel ball, and what they found

Every fact was checked against published sources. Where scientists are still arguing, the book tells you so.

Ten chapters of bite-size reads, with dive logs, "Myth or Fact?" boxes and a true-or-false quiz at the end of every chapter. Perfect for bathroom breaks, beach trips, trivia nights, and ruining every seafood dinner for the rest of your life.

Grab your copy today and never be bored in the bathroom again!
