The Blue Machine: How the Ocean Works

As someone who lives in a land-locked state, I haven’t devoted much time to considering the ocean when I’m not on a beach vacation. Physicist Czerski changed that. She makes a compelling argument that the ocean is a vital cog in our global system and so much more than an absence of land. Her writing is approachable for the lay reader as she covers the history, culture, and connections forged by water, as well as the impact of climate change.
