Although we still do not know where we might find Amelia Earhart's lost plane, here is a compelling scientific argument for one place to look.
Dr. Robert D. Ballard, president, Institute for Exploration, and discoverer of the Titanic
The authors have taken one of the great mysteries of modern times, provided a story line that could only have been conceived by Steven Spielberg, and created a book that will keep you up until you turn the last page.
Greg Stemm, founder, Professional Shipwreck Explorers Association
A rare camaraderie forged by sunburn, sea sickness, exhaustion, and a shared dedication against all odds and in defiance of all criticism. . . . TIGHAR has already gathered evidence that they are searching in the right place. . . . [They] have sifted meticulously through dirt, scoured murky lagoons, and dived the fringing reef.
Skin Diver Magazine
While their judgements are tantalizing and plausible, the fun of the book is being in on the excitement of the discoveries and the scientific testing of the hypothesis. Written in a colloquial, good-humored style that takes itself seriously but is not above cracking a joke to make a point, this is a must for 'what happened to Amelia' fanatics, and also those who are interested in how science can be used to test the veracity of theories about historical mysteries.
Publishers Weekly
There are competing theories about Earhart's disappearance, but in this engrossing description of the investigations, TIGHAR has produced one of the most cogent and plausible theories yet. This is a valuable and entertaining primer on the disappearance itself, and it just might hold the solution to one of aviation's greatest mysteries.
Mel D. Lane, Library Journal
You'll be enthralled as much by the telling as by the tale.
