Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Fathoming the Ocean" will clearly be welcomed as a serious contribution by historians of science, technology, and maritime culture. And in addition, as the foreword by marine biologist Sylvia Earle underscores, the story is also of immediate relevance to anyone who wonders when and how we came to understand--as we now urgently do--the ocean's importance to our blue planet.--Alistair Sponsel"Science" (08/26/2005)

Reseña del editor:

Offers a rare and engaging look into our fascination with the deep sea and into the origins of oceanography - origins still visible in a science that focuses the efforts of physicists, chemists, geologists, and engineers on the common enterprise of understanding a vast, three dimensional, alien space.
