"It has often been proposed that the
ultimate human future lies in space. It has become clear instead that
the strange world really holding our future, now and forever is the
ocean. In [this book], Deborah Cramer explains why this is so.
Authoritatively researched, clearly written, and beautifully
illustrated, this book is best of its class."E.O. Wilson, author of The Creation and Superorganism
"Deborah Cramer's achievement in
creating this classic study of the world's seas is destined for lasting
importance. Her book is a hymn to something that is both beautiful and
fragile, a fervent prayer that we recognize it as such, and an eloquent
plea for all humankind to cherish it--to embrace the sea as it embraces
us." Simon Winchester author of The Man Who Loved China
Deborah Cramer writes about science, nature, and the
environment. Currently a visiting scholar at MIT's Earth System
Initiative, she is the author of Great Waters: An Atlantic Passage. She lives in Gloucester, Massachusetts.
