'Fascinating. The deepest of octopus books' Peter Godfrey-Smith
'Octopuses are deeply, gloriously weird... The book abounds with wonders.' Kathleen Jamie, New Statesman

_________________
The octopus is a highly intelligent and deeply mysterious creature. It can communicate in sophisticated ways, change colour and texture in a split second, and sense aspects of the world that we cannot, making it seem otherworldly.
Marine biologist David Scheel's lifelong preoccupation with these animals has led to a career of groundbreaking research. Here he shares his latest scientific understanding of octopuses and recounts his intrepid adventures with these charismatic creatures.
Many Things Under a Rock celebrates octopuses as complex emotional beings and reveals what they can teach us about ourselves.

David Scheel, Professor of Marine Biology at Alaska Pacific University, has researched the behaviour and ecology of octopuses for more than 25 years. His discoveries include a previously unnoticed species of large octopus and a common signal use among octopuses living in unusual densities. He starred, with Heidi the Octopus and his daughter Laurel, in the BBC documentary 'The Octopus in My House'.
