About the author

Librarian Reviews

Jacques Cousteau: Conserving Underwater Worlds (In the Footsteps of Explorers)

While early explorers either sailed the seas or trekked overland, this 20th-century explorer’s territory of discovery was underwater. Before his work, underwater exploration was limited and dangerous. Contains photographs, illustrations, sidebars, glossary and index.
