Noted Maryland scientist Peter R. Vogt, author of Divine Gust of Wind and five children's books, takes his readers  to ocean floors and other exotic realms, recapping his career as an ocean geologist. His memoir recounts chasing polar ice, climbing mountains and conquering volcanoes and devoting himself to exploration of  Earth's final frontier, the oceans' depths. "Peppered with amusing anecdotes and thoughtful letters home to Randi, his beloved wife, this is a remarkable journey of a restless man questing for answers, a quest that continues to this day."—Sherrod Sturrock, Director Emeritus, Calvert Marine Museum.
