| Summary, etc | For decades, Robert Ballard has pursued a dual career as a marine scientist and a pioneering discoverer, locating scores of wrecks all over the world, including the Titanic and the battleship Bismarck. In this lavishly illustrated chronicle, he uses his most exciting dives as starting points for an odyssey through time, tracing the evolution of ships and navigation from the first reed boats to the nuclear submarines of today. Ballard tells of plunging 12,000 feet to the floor of the Atlantic and finding new life in the superheated water around active volcanoes on the Pacific Seabed. Readers join a team of technicians on the bridge of a research ship as they fly a state-of-the-art, unmanned submersible over the Titanic's ghostly hull. But this book does much more than chronicle Ballard's unique experiencesãit provides an illuminating history of humankind's relationship with the ocean. Along with the giants of modern undersea explorationCousteau, Beebe, Piccardhe introduces the storied seamen of the past, form the ancient Phoenicians to such greats as Magellan, Columbus, and Cook. Capturing the irresistible lure of the sea in lively text and 200 vivid illustrations, this is a fascinating book that combines stirring history with the excitement of discovery that Robert Ballard knows so well. |
