Curtis Ebbesmeyer is no ordinary scientist. He`s been a consulting oceanographer for multinational firms & a lead scientist on international research expeditions, but he`s never held a conventional academic appointment. He seized the world`s imagination as no ordinary scientist could when he & his worldwide network of beachcomber volunteers traced the ocean`s currents using thousands of sneakers & plastic bath toys spilled from storm-tossed freighters. Now, for the first time, Ebbesmeyer tells the story of his lifelong struggle to solve the sea`s mysteries, & shares his most surprising discoveries. He recounts how flotsam has changed the course of history-leading Viking mariners to safe harbours, Columbus to the New World, & Japan to open up to the West
- & how it may even have made the origin of life possible. He explores the vast floating garbage patches & waste-heaped junk beaches that collect the flotsam & jetsam of industrial society. Finally, he reveals the music-like mathematical order in oceanic gyres & the threats that global warming & disintegrating plastic waste pose to the seas.. .and to us.

What really makes people glad to be alive? What are the inner experiences that make life worthwhile? For more than two decades Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi studied those states in which people report feelings of concentration & deep enjoyment. His studies revealed that what makes experience genuinely satisfying is `flow`
- a state of concentration so focused that it amounts to complete absorption in an activity & results in the achievement of a perfect state of happiness. Flow has become the classic work on happiness & a major contribution to contemporary psychology. It examines such timeless issues as the challenge of lifelong learning; family relationships; art, sport & sex as `flow`; the pain of loneliness; optimal use of free time; & how to make our lives meaningful.
