The Atom and the Ocean
E. W. Seabrook Hull
The sea covers most of our planet, and mid-century scientists dreamed of powering its exploration with the atom. Seabrook Hull surveys the world ocean, its currents and mixed chemistry, its interfaces and resources, and the role nuclear energy might play beneath the waves. A brisk, optimistic look at oceanography's atomic age. Dive into the future the atomic era imagined for the sea.
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.
