About This Item
Englewood Cliff, N.J.: Prentice-Hall, 1962. Here is the exciting adventurous story of man's explorations of the sea. In this book, Cromie describes the tremendous scope and breadth of oceanography. In his accounts of such pioneering oceanographic explorations as that of the H.M.S. Beagle in 1831 and the H.M.S. Challenger in 1872 Cromie reveals how "The science of oceanography was placed on a firm foundation." Among the modern oceanographic expeditions described in this beautifully illustrated work, is the U.S. Navy's Project Nekton that probed the bottom of the Marianas Trench,.... the explorations of the research schooners Vema and Atlantis in the Indian Ocean and the Red Sea.... and the spectacular International Geophysical Year 1957-1958 when 66 nations and more than 5,000 scientists simultaneously explored the secrets of the sea. 300 pp. includes index. Frontispiece plus many, many b/w photos, maps and illustrations including chapter head pieces by George Geygan. Gilt lettering to spine. Price-intact glossy and bright dust jacket illustrated by George Geygan.. First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good.
