Resumen del Editor
A gripping tale of exploration aboard H.M.S. Challenger, an expedition that laid the foundations for modern oceanography.
From late 1872 to 1876, H.M.S. Challenger explored the world's oceans. Conducting deep sea soundings, dredging the ocean floor, recording temperatures, observing weather, and collecting biological samples, the expedition laid the foundations for modern oceanography. Following the ship's naturalists and their discoveries, earth scientist Doug Macdougall engagingly tells a story of Victorian-era adventure and ties these early explorations to the growth of modern scientific fields.
In this lively story of adventure, hardship, and humor, Macdougall examines the work of the expedition's scientists, especially the naturalist Henry Moseley, who rigorously categorized the flora and fauna of the islands the ship visited, and the legacy of John Murray, considered the father of modern oceanography. Macdougall explores not just the expedition itself but also the iconic place that H.M.S. Challenger has achieved in the annals of ocean exploration and science.

Just 150 years ago, most of our world was an unexplored wilderness. Our sense of its age was vastly off the mark. And what we believed to be the history of our own species consisted of fantastic myths and fairy tales; fossils, known for millennia, were seen as the bones of dragons and other imagined creatures. How did we learn so much so quickly? Remarkable Creatures celebrates the pioneers who replaced our fancies with the even more remarkable real story of how our world evolved.

Beginning with Mt. Vesuvius, whose eruption in Roman times helped spark the science of geology, and ending in a lab in the West of England where mathematical models and lab experiments replace direct observation, Richard Fortey tells us what the present says about ancient geologic processes. He shows how plate tectonics came to rule the geophysical landscape and how the evidence is written in the hills and in the stones. And in the process, he takes us on a wonderful journey around the globe to visit some of the most fascinating and intriguing spots on the planet.

Some 73,000 years ago, the Mount Toba supervolcano in toda's Indonesia erupted, releasing the energy of a million tons of explosives. So much ash and debris was injected into the stratosphere that it partially blocked the sun's radiation and caused global temperatures to drop for a decade. In this book, Donald R. Prothero presents the controversial argument that the Toba catastrophe nearly wiped out the human race, leaving only about a thousand to ten thousand breeding pairs of humans worldwide.

For the first time in history, the human species has the technology to destroy itself. But having developed that power, humans are also able to leave Earth and voyage into the vastness of space. After millions of years of evolution, we’ve arrived at the point where we can settle other worlds and begin the process of becoming multi-planetary. How did we get here? What does the future hold for us?

Who can forget the sense of wonder with which they discovered the creatures of the deep? In this vibrant hymn to the sea, Callum Roberts - one of the world’s foremost conservation biologists - leads listeners on a fascinating tour of mankind’s relationship to the sea, from the earliest traces of water on Earth to the oceans as we know them today. In the process, Roberts looks at how the taming of the oceans has shaped human civilization and affected marine life. Like Four Fish and The Omnivore’s Dilemma, The Ocean of Life takes a long view to tell a story in which each one of us has a role to play.

In The Ice at the End of the World, Jon Gertner explains how Greenland has evolved from one of earth’s last frontiers to its largest scientific laboratory. The history of Greenland’s ice begins with the explorers who arrived here at the turn of the 20th century. Their original goal was to conquer Greenland’s seemingly infinite interior. Yet their efforts eventually gave way to scientists who built lonely encampments out on the ice and began drilling - one mile, two miles down.Their aim was to pull up ice cores that could reveal the deepest mysteries of earth’s past.

The legendary annihilation in 1883 of the volcano-island of Krakatoa - the name has since become a byword for a cataclysmic disaster - was followed by an immense tsunami that killed nearly 40,000 people. Beyond the purely physical horrors of an event that has only very recently been properly understood, the eruption changed the world in more ways than could possibly be imagined. Dust swirled round die planet for years, causing temperatures to plummet and sunsets to turn vivid with lurid and unsettling displays of light.

The monumental statues of Easter Island, both so magisterial and so forlorn, gazing out in their imposing rows over the island’s barren landscape, have been the source of great mystery ever since the island was first discovered by Europeans on Easter Sunday 1722. How could the ancient people who inhabited this tiny speck of land, the most remote in the vast expanse of the Pacific islands, have built such monumental works?

After a slow start, it's great
I'm an oceanographer, so I was preadapted to like this book. After a very slow start, which perhaps dealt the the author's own research at Scripps, the book was excellent. I wanted more. I particularly liked the sections about John Murray, who could be a character from a Simon Winchester biography. Murray, a Scot, was on Challenger and spent his life editing the dozens of volumes of Challenger Reports. Murray coined the terms oceanographer and oceanography. I would have liked to hear more about the non-geological findings of Challenger. For example, the animals dredged up by Challenger from the abyss not only disproved Forbes azoic theory but documented very high diversity. Dick Fleming (UW) did an excellent job in Sverdrup, Johnson & Fleming's (1942, p 805-809) 'The Oceans,' describing Challenger's faunal data from the deep sea. Seventy years after Challanger, Murray's reports were still the best available. Challenger discovered not only life but relatively high deep-sea diversity. The Challneger collected 26 sediment-dwelling (benthic) individuals at 6250 meters and found 10 species. Hessler & Sanders (1967) & Sanders (1968) 'rediscovered' high diversity in the deep sea 90 years after Challenger, documenting much higher diversity than Challenger. With better samples, the diversity is now known to be comparable to rain forests. Macdougall introduces some of the major problems facing the oceans today, which is important. The narration was excellent.

Good but could have been better
I had some struggles with this book. I appreciate the subject matter but it seems like it was written from the perspective of a natural scientist rather than a historian. I would have liked a more linear, journal like approach to the Challenger expedition. This author jumped around a lot and I had trouble keeping interest because of that.
That's not to say I didn't learn anything, I did, but I felt it may have been more interesting had the author told the story from beginning of the voyage to the end. Instead it was more like a string of scientific anecdotes depending on species they were studying.
Full disclosure here I read a lot of books written by Royal Navy officers at sea and they write voyages in a start to finish manor. This is not that kind of book, and why I struggled.
