Plankton

A number of plankton species can produce their own light, a process called bioluminescence. Some use this glow to lure in potential mates, while others use it to startle away animals that want to eat them.

The book examines these light-making plankton in depth, and a section on other creatures that glow rounds out the subject. Readers also get a table of contents, a glossary of key terms, an index, sidebars with extra information, and a short biography of the author.
