The best suggestion I have would be to head to the public library and find the ocean science section. By exploring a wide variety of books, you'll be able to home in on what's best for you. And of course, given your interest in inverts, anything on sea cucumbers will amaze ;) Rich,

I've only read Robert Kunzig's "Mapping the Deep" (wide-ranging and excellent), Eugene Kaplan's "Sensuous Seas" (quirky and fascinating) and Steve Jones' "Coral" (interesting but something of a triumph of style over substance). I'd be especially interesting in books about marine invertebrates. Which other books would you recommend for someone interested in (but largely ignorant of) ocean science?
