The bottom of the sea is not a featureless plain but a landscape of ridges, canyons, and plains. Bruce Heezen maps the physiography of the North Atlantic floor, building the diagrams that revealed a hidden world. A landmark of ocean science that helped reshape geology. Descend to the mountains and valleys hidden beneath the Atlantic.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
