"It is said that the seafloor is a desert, a vast and uniform
wasteland, all but devoid of life. Textbooks on the shelf in my
laboratory say so. But I know that is not true", writes scientist
and submersible pilot Cindy Lee Van Dover in the Introduction to
Deep-Ocean Journeys. Van Dover has ventured miles below surface
waves to the bottom of the sea, driven by her desire to understand
the complex and thriving ecosystems recently discovered near
volcanic vents. These ecosystems are models for sites where life
might have originated on this planet and where extraterrestrial
life is speculated to exist on Mars and Europa. In this remarkable
book, Van Dover gives lyrical voice to the scientific passion that
motivates her, taking us along with her as she reveals the wonders
of the ocean floor.
