Shapeshifters: The Wondrous World of Jellyfish

This collection of photographs and expert commentary shed light on the most mysterious creatures of the deep sea, the jellyfish. It showcases 100 species of jellyfish within its pages—from the ubiquitous Aurelia to the enigmatic Velella—along with astounding facts about these fascinating marine life-forms. Some are splendid, some strange, some poisonous, some deadly. Some carry surprising secrets, and some are barely known, but every one of them is remarkable and has a tale to tell. Jellyfish come in a dazzling array of colors, shapes, and sizes, drifting through every ocean, from the surface to the deepest of the deep seas, and are even found in freshwater locations.

Author Lisa-ann Gershwin invites the reader into the wondrous world of jellyfish, with an introduction and commentary throughout.
