Below the stillness of the surface course the ebb and flow of the tide, the steady forward propulsion of the passage of time, and the tiny lifetimes of the rock pool's creatures, all of which coalesce into the grand narrative of evolution. Nicolson shows us that the world of the rock pools is infinite and as intricate as our own. -- adapted from jacket ER -
