IRB Intro Post #1

For my first IRB, I plan on reading Deep: Freediving, Renegade Science, and What the Ocean Tells Us about Ourselves by James Nestor.  This book is about one reporter's exploration of freediving- both the physical aspects of the sport, and the mental and physcological conclusions he can draw from his experiences.  I heard an interview with the author a while ago about this book, and I had been hoping to actually read the book for some time now.  I read a New York Times book review of it and the review was glowing.  I am fairly confident I will enjoy this book because I love learning about crazy sports like freediving, and the author seems like a person I can certainly relate to.
