Sinossi

Deep Sea explores the largely unknown world beneath our oceans, revealing the groundbreaking efforts of scientists and explorers who venture into these extreme environments. The book highlights the importance of deep-sea exploration for resource management, grappling with climate change, and discovering unique ecosystems. For instance, the crushing pressures and perpetual darkness have led to incredible adaptations in deep-sea organisms, some of which rely on chemosynthesis rather than photosynthesis. The book journeys from the earliest diving bells to modern submersibles, showcasing technological milestones. It then progresses through essential topics such as the geological features of the deep sea, the unique life forms thriving there, and the impacts of human activities like deep-sea mining. Understanding the deep sea is crucial, as it plays a vital role in regulating Earth's climate and harbors a wealth of untapped resources. The book's interdisciplinary approach combines marine biology, geology, and environmental science to provide a comprehensive view.

Coming Alive on the Ride - A...

Michael Yang

Answering the call of the open road—from Seoul to Silicon Valley to riding 40,000 life-changing miles across America

When Michael Yang bought his first motorcycle, he was a teenager who’d just moved to America. He knew little English and had few friends. Still, whenever he rode that green Yamaha, he felt more in touch with life’s possibilities. The bike was stolen a few months later, but Yang never forgot the feeling.

It wasn’t until later in life that Yang got back on a motorcycle. By then, he’d settled into Silicon Valley amidst the technology revolution; and founded, scaled, and sold a half-billion-dollar tech startup. Then, during the upheaval of the dot-com bubble burst and a few failed attempts to get new companies off the ground, Yang felt a strong pull to reengage with himself. Sensing that this midlife crisis was an opportunity to do something fun and exciting, he revved up his bike and began riding into unfamiliar landscapes. Coming Alive on the Ride narrates more than 40,000 miles of his travels, from California’s coast to the upper reaches of Alaska, Canada’s far eastern edge, and more.

One thing about long motorcycle trips is that there’s a lot of time to think. Yang describes the unique bliss of watching the miles pass beneath two wheels as he relives moments from his past—growing up in Korea during the turbulent years after the Korean War, and moving to America as a fourteen-year-old—all the while taking in North America’s astounding scenery, from the stillness of the desert to heart-racing glimpses of a bison herds and grand mountain ranges. Somewhere along the way, it happens: Past experiences and future aspirations converge into a present discovery. This inspiring memoir is a reminder that, if we slow down and tune in our senses, adventure inspires and instructs the way nothing else can.
