Most of The Universe Below is based on personal experience. William
Broad had many adventures with deep-sea diving expeditions and can make you feel
part of them. He also dives into history: a German attempt to extract enough
gold from seawater to pay off war debts, for example. It’s clear that the sea is
still full not only of living wonders, but also of tantalising commercial
prospects. That is the problem. Published by Simon & Schuster/Pocket Books,
£9.99, ISBN 0684838524.
