This week's #NewBooks at the library:
- I bought a bargain second-hand copy of The Rise and Fall of the Ediacaran Biota, published by the Geological Society
- To prove it's not all hardcore science here, I visited my friend's new bookshop in Brixham in Devon and snagged myself a copy of SenLinYu's Alchemised, published by Michael Joseph. If you're in the area, go check out Into the West Bookshop, tell them The Inquisitive Biologist sent you.
- Another second-hand bargain was Cold-Water Corals: The Biology and Geology of Deep-Sea Coral Habitats (yes, these exist!), published by Cambridge University Press.

Giant squid among rare and elusive marine life detected off Western Australia's coast

A Curtin University-led study has revealed the extraordinary biodiversity hidden in deep underwater canyons off Western Australia's Nyinggulu (Ningaloo) coast, ranging from species previously undetected in the area, such as the elusive giant squid, to others thought to be new to science.
