Book Synopsis The Mysterious Science of the Sea, 1775–1943 by : Natascha Adamowsky
Book excerpt: The depths of the oceans are the last example of terra incognita on earth. Adamowsky presents a study of the sea, arguing that – contrary to popular belief – post-Enlightenment discourse on the sea was still subject to mystery and wonder, and not wholly rationalized by science.
