Reviews
Grade 4-8–Comparing exploration of the ocean with that of outer space, Lindop covers the equipment used and knowledge sought by underwater biologists and geologists. She presents the different zones of the sea, traces the development of diving equipment, and describes a typical dive. Topics include the mid-ocean ridge, plate tectonics, and continental drift; hydrothermal vents; bioluminescence; underwater cameras; and deep-sea remotely operated robot explorers. Information on specific projects, such as the joint French-American Mid-Ocean Undersea Study (FAMOUS) and its part in confirming the theory of continental drift is included. A closing passage explains an expedition using a nuclear sub to map the sea floor underneath the Arctic ice pack. The author effectively conveys a sense of suspense and researchers' surprise at unexpected discoveries. Color photos illustrate the equipment used, people involved, and sea floor explored, but do not capture or enhance the wonder conveyed by the text. Brad Matsen's The Incredible Record-Setting Deep-Sea Dive of the Bathysphere and The Incredible Submersible Alvin Discovers a Strange Deep-Sea World (both Enslow, 2003) provide more detail on the submersibles and their feats, but Lindop offers more on how they are used in research.–Jeffrey A.
