Yet for all its magnificent size and threatening undersea presence, Architeuthis has remained a mystery. Until now. In this marvelous and beautifully illustrated book, marine biologist, explorer, and artist \u003cb\u003eRichard Ellis\u003c\/b\u003e presents all that is known about the giant squid. Delving into myth, literature, popular culture, and science, he brings readers face to face with this remarkable creature. He also provides a thorough, compelling study of what is known and what is still to be discovered about this exotic animal that has never been studied alive. Interweaving his engrossing narrative with a wealth of fascinating illustrations and photographs, Ellis gives us the first comprehensive history of the only living creature that can truly be called a \"sea monster.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780140286762\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.69lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.42h x 5.49w x 0.73d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/17\/1999 pg. 36\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly Best Books\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/1998 pg. 45\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eIngram Advance\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/1999 pg. 182\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Richard Ellis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43059667927221,"sku":"9780140286762","price":20.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_2f6671e4-77dd-48a8-b949-74255847a16f.jpg?v=1690296714","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-search-for-the-giant-squid-the-biology-and-mythology-of-the-worlds-most-elusive-sea-creature-9780140286762","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
