About the book
Lights On!
Far below the sunlit surface, the ocean isn't dark. It glows.
Meet the viperfish that dangles a living lure to draw prey into its jaws. Watch fireworms rise from the depths in shimmering mating displays. Follow a vampire squid as it explodes into a cloud of light to vanish from predators. From flashing jellyfish and lanternfish to glowing worms and a pocket shark no bigger than your hand, Lights On! reveals the astonishing ways deep-sea creatures make their own light — to hunt, hide, communicate, and survive.
Newly expanded for its second edition, this book pairs Donna B. McKinney's vivid nonfiction storytelling with Daniella Ferretti's atmospheric art — now reviewed for scientific accuracy by two of the world's leading experts on bioluminescence: Dr. Steven Haddock of the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute and Professor Sönke Johnsen of Duke University.
The extensively expanded back matter takes young explorers even deeper:
- Play hide-and-seek with animals that vanish using color and see-through bodies
- Discover how bioluminescence is lighting the way in medical research
- Explore the historic voyages and rescues where living light guided the way home
- Uncover the questions about bioluminescence that scientists are still racing to answer
