Sea Change

A Message of the Oceans

Beschreibung

Equal parts memoir, adventure tale, and call to action, Sea Change has become a classic of environmental literature, at once the gripping adventure story of Earle’s three decades of undersea exploration, an insider’s introduction to the field of marine biology, and an urgent plea for the preservation of the world’s ocean ecosystems.
