Will the Sea Guardians discover the source of the problem before time runs out? Can they escape the threat of an oncoming storm? Or will a betrayal from one of their own ensure it's already too late?

[An] absorbing survey of oceanography . . . [this] elegant study is an excellent resource.Publishers Weekly A fascinating examination of the earths oceans This exhaustive overview of oceanography captures the excitement of discovery in the making. The Oceans opens up the world of ocean science to the general reader and raises significant questions about the future of the ancient, nurturing ocean itself. The oceans cover more than 70 percent of the globe, yet less than 5 percent of that expanse has been explored. But, as Drs. Prager and Earle show in this vivid survey of ocean research, our knowledge is suddenly accelerating: various dives, soundings, computer analyses, and other probes are uncovering amazing facts about the 142 million square miles beneath the seas.
To the average office-dweller, marine scientists seem to have the
good life: cruising at sea for weeks at a time, swimming in warm
coastal waters, living in tropical paradises. But ocean scientists
who go to sea will tell you that it is no vacation. Creature
comforts are few and the obstacles seemingly insurmountable, yet an
abundance of wonder and discovery still awaits those who take to
the ocean. "Chasing Science at Sea "immerses readers in the world
of those who regularly go to sea--aquanauts living underwater,
marine biologists seeking unseen life in the deep ocean, and the
tall-ship captains at the helm, among others--and tells the
fascinating tale of what life--and science--is like at the mercy of
Mother Nature.
