In an era when satellite photographs chart even the most remote landmasses in astonishing detail, we often think of the world as being mostly explored, but in fact the vast majority of our planet lies unrevealed beneath the ocean. In this watery wilderness, an environment every bit as inaccessible as space, Dr. Robert Ballard has pursued an extraordinary dual career as an outstanding marine scientist & a pioneering discoverer. One of our leading oceanographers & National Geographic's Explorer-in-Residence, Ballard tells of plunging 12, 000 feet to the floor of the Atlantic, finding new life in the superheated water around active volcanoes on the Pacific seabed, & locating scores of wrecks, from Homeric galleys to the Nazi battleship Bismarck. We peer from the cramped cabin of a research submarine at bioluminescent fish glowing in the sunless depths, gasp for air as the bathyscaph Archimedes fills with acrid smoke miles beneath the surface of the sea, & join a crack team of technicians on the bridge of a research ship as they 'fly' a state-of-the-art unmanned submersible over the Titanic's ghostly hull. Capturing all of the irresistible lure of the sea in 200 vivid illustrations & a lively text that spans thousands of years of seafaring & oceanography, this is a book as expansive as its subject, filled with fascinating information, stirring history, & a full measure of the infectious excitement of discovery Robert Ballard knows so well. ...

The untold story of Wilhelm Reich & the dawn of the sexual revolution. An illuminating, startling, at times bizarre story of sex & science, ecstasy & repression. Adventures in the Orgasmatron is the untold story of the dawn of the sexual revolution in America -- an illuminating, startling, at times bizarre story of sex & science, ecstasy & repression. In the middle of the 20th century, the United States became an adoptive home for dozens of expatriated European thinkers, who saw this rich, young country ripe for sexual liberation. One of the most left-field of them was the Viennese psychoanalyst Wilhelm Reich, a disciple of Freud's who had broken with the master. Reich's own approach was based on his theories of the orgasm & sexual energy, which he dubbed 'orgone energy'. Instead of the couch, he made use of a tall, slender construction of wood, metal, & steel wool, which he called the orgone box. A highly sexed man himself, Reich thought that a person who sat in the box could elevate their 'orgastic potential' ridding the body of repressive forces, improving sexual potency, & enhancing overall health. After World War Two, Reich's theories caught on among writers & artists, the early adopters of the counter-culture. Norman Mailer & Saul Bellow were amongst those for whom the orgone box represented a yearned-for synthesis of sexual & political liberation, & of physical science & psychology. Meanwhile, Reich himself faced one debacle after another. Albert Einstein heard him out before rebuffing him. The FBI investigated him as a Communist sympathizer: it turned out that they were hunting the wrong man. The federal government banned the orgone box & tagged Reich as a fraud. There were claims of sexual misdeeds, & bouts of Reich's own mental instability. This is the story of the blossoming of the 20th century's sexual revolution, & the unshackling of a repressed society, & sex before science. ...
