reviewed The Blue Machine by Helen Czerski

Helen Czerski: The Blue Machine (AudiobookFormat, 2023, Books on Tape)

A scientist’s exploration of the "ocean engine"—the physics behind the ocean’s systems—and why it matters. …

Right balance of depth and understandability

The science of oceans with a primary focus on ocean physics. Temperature, salinity, heat, light, sound, mass, pressure. The last third of the book gets more into biology and ecology, though not losing all connection to discussion of physics. All of it fascinating.
