Publisher : Enter a world of dark recesses, ancient mysteries, and 20th-century intrigues — a world that contains alien creatures, the treasures of vanished empires, and perhaps even the secret of life itself.
Two-time Pulitzer Prize winner William J. road takes readers on an adventure to the deep sea in the company of the scientists and explorers who are investigating the secrets of Earth’s last frontier. He describes how modern technology, often originally developed for Cold War espionage, is now uncovering information about ancient life forms, historic events like the sinking of the Titanic, and current environmental dangers that could have devastating, long-term effects.
