Creatures of Light: Nature’s Bioluminescence introduces the extraordinary diversity of organisms that produce light, from flickering fireflies to mysterious deep-sea fishes.
Scientists are just beginning to uncover the secrets of bioluminescence—the generation of light by living things. Travel through summer meadows and the deep sea to explore this incredible natural phenomenon.
