“An engaging exploration of the depths of the world's oceans and the human connection to the rapidly changing world below. This is popular science writing at its best." — Christian Science Monitor “The reader could not wish for a better guide … Deep is a fascinating, informative, exhilarating book.” — Wall Street Journal “The deeper [Nestor] ventures into the ocean, the more dramatic and unusual the organisms therein and the people who observe them ... It’s a journey well worth taking.” — David Epstein, New York Times Book Review Fascinated by the sport of freediving—in which competitors descend great depths on a single breath—journalist James Nestor embeds with a gang of oceangoing extreme athletes and renegade researchers. He finds whales that communicate with other whales hundreds of miles away, sharks that swim in unerringly straight lines through pitch-black waters, and other strange phenomena. Most illuminating of all, he learns that these abilities are reflected in humans’ remarkable, and often hidden, potential—including echolocation, directional sense, and the profound physiological changes we undergo when underwater. Along the way, Nestor unlocks his own freediving skills as he communes with the pioneers who are expanding our definition of what is possible in the natural world, and in ourselves.
No matter what you eat, how much you exercise, how skinny or young or wise you are, none of it matters if you're not breathing properly.There is nothing more essential to our health and well-being than breathing: take air in, let it out, repeat twenty-five thousand times a day. Yet, as a species, humans have lost the ability to breathe correctly, with grave consequences.Journalist James Nestor travels the world to figure out what went wrong and how to fix it. The answers aren't found in pulmonology labs, as we might expect, but in the muddy digs of ancient burial sites, secret Soviet facilities, New Jersey choir schools, and the smoggy streets of Sao Paulo. Nestor tracks down men and women exploring the hidden science behind ancient breathing practices like Pranayama, Sudarshan Kriya, and Tummo and teams up with pulmonary tinkerers to scientifically test long-held beliefs about how we breathe.Modern research is showing us that making even slight adjustments to the way we inhale and exhale can jump-start athletic performance; rejuvenate internal organs; halt snoring, asthma, and autoimmune disease; and even straighten scoliotic spines. None of this should be possible, and yet it is.Drawing on thousands of years of medical texts and recent cutting-edge studies in pulmonology, psychology, biochemistry, and human physiology, Breath turns the conventional wisdom of what we thought we knew about our most basic biological function on its head. You will never breathe the same again.

In 1948, a young Australian mining engineer named Ben Carlin set out to do the impossible: circumnavigate the globe, by land and sea, in a single vehicle. The vehicle in question was an amphibious jeep developed by the U.S. Army, which Carlin christened Half-Safe, after a deodorant slogan. It was a mechanical mongrel that was supposed to move with equal ease across land and water but in practice wasn't much good for either one. Undaunted, Carlin and his wife Elinore set off across the Atlantic Ocean with dreams of fame and fortune, and of carving a small notch in history. What happened next is one of the most bizarre, remarkable, and forgotten adventure stories of the 20th century. In Half-Safe, author James Nestor endeavors to uncover Ben Carlin's fate and finds a gripping story of love, danger, and extraordinary perseverance that spans three oceans and five continents. Half-Safe takes us from the eye of an Atlantic Ocean hurricane to the sweltering Sahara to the impenetrable jungles of Southeast Asia—and into the mind of a man who could overcome everything but his own demons.

Por el autor de Respira, un libro que nos zambulle en un océano de historias, anécdotas y descubrimientos científicosEl agua cubre el 70 por ciento de la superficie de la Tierra, pero tenemos escasa idea de lo que esconden sus profundidades. Este libro nos zambulle en un océano de historias, anécdotas y descubrimientos científicos que transformarán nuestra visión del mar y de nosotros mismos para siempre.Durante un viaje a Grecia, James Nestor asistió a los campeonatos del mundo de apnea y descubrió que, con una sola respiración, el ser humano puede sumergirse a más de noventa metros de profundidad –el equivalente a un edificio de treinta plantas– sin ninguna clase de asistencia técnica, y volver a la superficie al cabo de cuatro minutos, indemne y sonriente. Animado por esta experiencia, emprendió un viaje que le llevó a conocer a deportistas extremos, científicos y otros personajes tan fascinantes como insólitos, y a entender cómo las ballenas se comunican entre sí a cientos de kilómetros de distancia, cómo los tiburones logran nadar en una perfecta línea recta en la oscuridad o de qué manera las focas consiguen sumergirse más lejos y por más tiempo de lo que la ciencia creía posible. Por extraordinarios que sean estos fenómenos, reflejan el enorme potencial, a menudo oculto, de nuestra propia especie y los profundos cambios fisiológicos que experimentamos cuando estamos bajo el agua. En las profundidades es un libro que cambiará no solo nuestra percepción del planeta y de la fauna que alberga, sino que también nos descubrirá las posibilidades inauditas que ofrecen el cuerpo y la mente humana.
