APOLLONIA ON MY MIND: THE MEMOIR OF A PARAPLEGIC OCEAN SCIENTIST

by Nicholas C. Flemming

Published by Sidestone Press. 1st. 2021

Slightly better than very good condition. The ocean conceals secrets, ancient, modern, and future. Nic Flemming's memoir recounts the life of a pioneeer in ocean science. This is a multi-disciplinary adventure story that argues that different skills and fields can interact creatively with surprising results. It will be enjoyed by all those interested in the development of underwater archaeology, climate science, and ocean exploration. Matt pictorial boards. Colour photos. 504 pages including index.

Lower corners and base of spine lightly bumped. Text block slightly grubby to vertical edge. Lower corners of contetns very slightly creased - caused by bumping of board corner. Else contents clean. A decent copy.
