Reviews

"A riveting book of revelations about Earth's largest and most important habitat." - Tim Flannery "Most of us, being land-dwelling air-breathers, think of the earth in terms of its surface. We are oblivious to the incredible world beneath the surface of the oceans and its importance to our own life. Mitchell's book reads like a novel - I couldn't wait to find out what happens next. I loved Seasick. It's a winner." - Margaret Rioux, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute"
