Bellingham's book, which illuminates the desires, challenges, innovations, and rewards of exploration in extreme ocean conditions, stirs the same emotions and curiosity that led me toward venturing into space.
Bellingham and Geib present real-world events to frame the impacts of complex and elegant marine exploration systems here on Earth, and how they might one day search for life in the seas of our neighboring planets and moons.
[D]escribes in considerable detail the physical conditions of the ocean's terrain and the complex array of equipment used—yesterday and today—to explore it. An interesting and readable account of the history and potential of marine exploration technology—at last!
As a global leader in the design and utilization of autonomous underwater systems, Bellingham offers an insightful and compelling set of case studies which define not only the trajectory of the science, but a sense of how valuable robotics technologies will be in addressing society's most critical problems.
[P]ulls back the curtain on the hidden oceanic expanse and demonstrates why it's so vital to our future.
