Mapping the deep

[Siddhi]

The second book is "Mapping the Deep: The Extraordinary Story of Ocean Science" by Robert Kunzig. As far as popular science books go, this is highly readable account of the modern science of oceanography, marine geophysics and marine biology. I read it when I was a first year undergraduate in marine biology with oceanography, but would love to read it again and think more people would enjoy the book!

“Mapping the Deep” is a book which draws you in to the realm of the deep sea – far from shore. Imagine looking out of the window into a sky filled with the sea, we are taken into the world of the abyss. The author describes the book as a portrait of our understanding of the sea- with its distinct focus on the distant and the unfamiliar making it such a pleasure to discover. Laurence Madin of WHOI describes this popular science book as “The best account of discovery in oceanography I’ve ever read” and the chapters which follow are just as inspiring to read.
