The Fragile Edge: Diving and Other Adventures in the South Pacific
In The Fragile Edge, documentary filmmaker and deep-sea diver Julia Whitty paints a mesmerizing, scientifically rich portrait of teeming coral reefs and sea life in the South Pacific. She takes us literally beneath the surface of the usual travel narrative, to the underwater equivalent of an African big-game safari, where hammerhead sharks rule a cascading chain of extraordinary creatures from eagle rays to reef sharks, while the sounds of courting humpback whales reverberate throughout the deep. Equally inspiring for armchair and expert divers, The Fragile Edge reveals the ways in which science extends our understanding of unfathomable waters, opening our eyes to the threats facing coral reefs and explaining why these fragile oases are vital to human survival. In this passionate, spiritual narrative of her adventures in the big blue, Whitty emerges as one of our finest writers on the mystery, beauty, and fragility of the undersea world..
