Produktbeschreibungen

Amazon.co.uk

As a young man, at a time when most of his peers were turning their eyes to deep space, Robert Ballard came under the spell both of scientific inquiry and of the ocean. After taking a doctorate in marine geology and geophysics, he spent three decades at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute, through which he participated in more than a hundred deep-sea expeditions. Writing from the point of view of "a privileged witness to a fascinating burst of exploration", Ballard recounts many of those explorations, including the first up-close studies of the great mid-ocean ridge of volcanic mountains that circles the globe, full of seafloor vents and "black smokers". Along the way Ballard provides a brief history of modern oceanography, looking at the contributions of such scientists as Charles William Beebe and Otis Barton, whose legendary dives in the early 1930s paved the way for much subsequent research. Ballard's narrative takes on particular vigour when he describes, in fascinating detail, his team's search for the wreckage of the Titanic--a search that relied on intelligent guesswork as much as on hard evidence. The methods he and his colleagues used--employing, among other things, sophisticated remote-control craft--to find the unfortunate vessel ushered in a new era of deep-ocean research, a contribution in which Ballard takes justified pride. --Gregory McNamee

Von Ein Kunde
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
An amazing book which not only creates suspense and a sense of adventure but contains clear and cogent scientific explanations as well. Even the geology is clearly and interestingly described. This is a book for all ages, and should especially appeal to those with an interest in scientific discovery and the advancement of man's knowledge of the earth.

This book is not only extremely interesting, but is also highly inspiring to me as an aspiring oceanographer. However, it is also a book that would be interesting to somebody who was not particularly interested in that field specifically and is written in a way that could be easily understood by most people. Robert Ballard is truly one of the greatest minds that the ocean sciences has ever seen, and The Eternal Darkness is one more addition to the many excellent books he has written.
