  In this 2024 conversation with Justine Willis Toms, Susan Casey, a premiere chronicler of the aquatic world, highlights the complexity and ecological importance of the ocean's depths as she shares her personal and historical perspectives on exploring its mysteries. She points out that we are oddly unacquainted with its depths and importance, which make up more than 70% of Earth’s surface, notwithstanding its depth. She also reports on diving to the pulsing night-club-like life of the Twilight Zone (600-3300 feet) that is filled with bioluminescent creatures that sparkle and glow. Despite these delights, Casey points to the terrestrial bias and the lack of funding for ocean exploration compared to space. There is a need for a better understanding of the ocean's role in regulating the planet's chemistry before engaging in any large-scale mining, which could have severe consequences for the ocean's ecosystem. 
  Susan Casey is the author of several books including: Devil's Teeth: A True Story of Survival and Obsession Among American’s Great White Sharks (Henry Holt 2005)The Wave: In Pursuit of the Rogues, Freaks and Giants of the Ocean (Doubleday 2010)Voices in the Ocean: A Journey into the Wild and Haunting World of Dolphins (Anchor 2016)Underworld: Journeys to the Depths of the Ocean (Doubleday 2023)

  Skyway - The True Story of Tampa...

  On the morning of May 9, 1980, harbor pilot John Lerro was guiding a 600-foot freighter, the Summit Venture, into Tampa Bay. Directly in the ship's path was the Sunshine Skyway Bridge. Suddenly, a violent weather cell reduced visibility to zero at the precise moment when Lerro attempted to direct the 20,000-ton vessel underneath the bridge. Unable to stop or see where he was going, Lerro drove the ship into a support pier. 
   
   
   
  Skyway tells the entire story of this horrific event, from the circumstances that led up to it through the years-long legal proceedings. Bill DeYoung pieces together the harrowing moments of the collision, including the accounts of witnesses and survivors. 
   
   
   
  Among those whose lives were changed forever was Wesley MacIntire, the motorist whose truck ricocheted off the hull of the Summit Venture and sank. The lone survivor, MacIntire, like Lerro, was emotionally scarred and remained haunted by the tragedy for the rest of his life. 
   
   
   
  DeYoung offers a history of the ill-fated bridge, from its construction in 1954, through the addition of a second parallel span in 1971, to its eventual replacement. The result is a detailed portrait of the rise and fall of a Florida landmark.
