Sommario/riassunto |
|
By the middle of the nineteenth century, as scientists explored the frontiers of polar regions and the atmosphere, the ocean remained silent and inaccessible. The history of how this changed--of how the depths became a scientific passion and a cultural obsession, an |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
engineering challenge and a political attraction--is the story that unfolds in Fathoming the Ocean. |
