Synopsis

"Ocean Myths and Facts" explores the fascinating intersection of cultural sea lore and scientific oceanography, examining how age-old beliefs about the marine environment compare to verifiable data. The book navigates the murky waters between captivating legends and concrete facts, highlighting the importance of distinguishing between the two for effective ocean conservation and scientific literacy.

 
It is intriguing to note how early understandings of the seas, shaped by limited observational capabilities, led to stories of monstrous creatures and supernatural phenomena, shaping our cultural beliefs and relationship with the ocean.

 
The book progresses from introducing core concepts in oceanography and marine biology to delving into specific ocean myths, comparing cultural origins against current scientific knowledge.

 
A key focus involves debunking myths related to marine life and ocean geography, such as exaggerated claims about the size and danger of certain species or the existence of bottomless trenches.

 
It uniquely adopts a dual approach, systematically deconstructing myths while respecting their cultural significance, enriching the scientific analysis and fostering a more holistic understanding.

 
By connecting Earth Sciences Geography and Nature studies with history and anthropology, "Ocean Myths and Facts" offers a valuable perspective for students, educators, and anyone curious about the world's oceans.

    A herd of bison standing in the snow. Layered bluffs of multicolored sandstone. A silver Airstream trailer on a mountain highway. These are familiar sights for Neil Mathison and his wife, Susan. Newly retired, their son in college, they embark upon a great American road trip "uncoupled from the tyranny of calendars or a specific journey." Airstream Country recounts their travels across the western United States as they move from Montana to Malibu and Seattle to Silverton, winding their way through millions of years of geological history with their Airstream in tow. Along the way they encounter upheavals and depositions, ancient seas and young mountains, and stone towers and striated canyons, which are all illuminated by Mathison's knowledgeable commentary. Even after thousands of miles and eons of geology, their adventures are never finished, for, as Mathison writes, "We learn by travel where we ought to travel more."
