Ula Tardigrade's Reviews > Worlds in Shadow: Submerged Lands in Science, Memory and Myth

Engaging and full of surprises.

Author, a scientist himself, combines knowledge from many sources and disciplines - geography, geology, archeology, spoken history, to name just a few - into a coherent and original tale of sunken lands, real and imaginary ones. Underwater archeology is far less known than its terrestrial kind, so diving into this topic was fascinating for me.

Despite being a little textbook-ish, it is very well written and easy to follow. And in the time of climate crisis and rising sea levels it is worth knowing how our ancestors managed to survive similar situations.

Thanks to the publisher, Bloomsbury USA, and NetGalley for an advanced copy of this book.
