Book Description
When Nick Drake (1948-1974) died of a drug overdose at twenty-six, he left behind three modest-selling albums, including the stark Pink Moon and the lush Bryter Layter. Three decades later, he is recognized as one of the true geniuses of English acoustic music. Yet Nick Drake--whose music was as gentle and melancholy as the man himself-- has always maintained a spectral presence in popular music. This groundbreaking biography reconstructs a vanished life while perfectly capturing the bohemian scenes surrounding the music business in London in the late '60s and early '70s. Using many newly discovered documents and all-new interviews, Trevor Dann reveals more detail on Nick Drake than ever, from his upbringing in a quintessentially English village, through his hash-fueled school days at Cambridge University, to the missed opportunities and mismanagement that defined his career. Friends and colleagues describe the difficulties that he faced as each new album was released, only to fail, and the insidious despair that consumed him. Complete with discography and rare photos, Darker Than the Deepest Sea is essential reading for anyone who has been moved by Nick Drake's unforgettable blend of beauty and sadness.

Book Description
The Deep Dark Sea was sparked from an intriguing fact: 80% of our ocean remains unexplored and we have explored the surface of the moon more than our own ocean. Additionally, life in the deep sea was discovered surprisingly recently (only in the 1970's). The deep sea is a vast and largely unexplored place, where animals are both terrifying and beautiful, and they have developed amazing adaptations to life in such a harsh and unforgiving place. Through a children s book filled with illustrations and infographics, and an accompanying animation of the creatures in motion, The Deep Dark Sea is a celebration of our mysterious and strange world.
