This book, which documents Robert Ballard's professional life up to the time of publication, is truly a work of wonder. It is written to where it makes you feel like you're there with them, giving firsthand accounts of Ballard's bathyscaphe incidents, the politics of academia, the discovery of Titanic, the loss and recovery of Hugo and Jason, and the discovery of the Bismarck. An incredible publication, indeed.

An excellent read. This is the life story of one of the Greatest marine geologists and explorers of our time. From top secret navy submarines to luxurious ocean liners to deep sea marine life this man has seen it all, this book helps to explain what wasn't in the other great books he has written, it is a personal account of everything he went through to get where he is now. It was one of the best books I have ever read and a must have for all fans.
Exciting, first hand look at modern day explorations.

Mr Ballard is probably best known for his work in locating the wreck of the Titanic and all the press that event was given. He well deserves the rave reviews for his work but he also proves to be a very readable, clear, intelligent writer. The tales of finding underwater thermal springs and the unique life forms that live in them is fascinating. I was extremely sorry to finish this book and will keep an eye open for any new book he may publish. He is on my "must read" list of authors.
