A beautiful (portable) book on a less-seen but vital part of our world. I read this when I was starting a freshwater project a while back as it helped me into an area I knew little of.

THIS IS THE WAY THE WORLD ENDS... FOR THE LAST TIME. A season of endings has begun.

And where there is no mercy. [more inside]
