Depth: Freediving and the New Limits of Human Potential / James Nestor; translated from English. — Moscow: Alpina Non-Fiction, 2022. — 310 p. ISBN 978-5-00139-761-8 During a routine journalistic trip to Greece, James Nestor witnessed something that left him utterly perplexed: a man dived to a depth of 100 meters (the height of a thirty-story building) on a single breath and resurfaced four minutes later unharmed and smiling. Could it be a hoax? Or do freedivers possess superhuman abilities? But the author was amazed to discover the ability to dive deep and hold his breath for several minutes in himself as well. This revelation sparked a major investigation, which Nestor recounts in his book. Diving ever deeper into the ocean, he observes whales, seals, and sharks — but above all, people who push the boundaries of what is possible. Depth, it turns out, lies within each of us: incredible abilities are deeply embedded in our consciousness and genes. UDC 159.922 BBK 88.26-3
