Fresh and stinging... seamlessly splices amazing tales of exploring undersea caves, encountering sharks, and surviving an Antarctic blizzard with bracing eyewitness accounts of the shockingly rapid and potentially catastrophic destruction of marine life...an electrifying, many-faceted masterwork.

Booklist

Eloquent testimony on the importance of pursuing higher ideals, particularly the preservation of the oceans and the natural world.

Publishers Weekly

A treat for Cousteau fans and conservationists alike.

Kirkus Reviews

Eloquent and at times almost poetical. This worthwhile look back at the French scientist who taught us to love scuba diving and the ocean raises questions still highly relevant ten years later.
