SOUNDINGS - THE REMARKABLE STORY OF MARIE THARP, the GEOLOGIST WHO MAPPED THE OCEAN FLOOR

Just heard of this new book, which sounds exciting!  Marie Tharp dedicated more than 20 years of her career to the Lamont Geological Observatory.


Link to the author HALI FELT here!  "Her maps of the ocean floor have been called “one of the most remarkable achievements in modern cartography”, yet no one knows her name... Before Marie Tharp, geologist and gifted draftsperson, most people thought the ocean floor was a vast expanse of nothingness."

If you can't afford to purchase this book, be sure to ask your local library to buy a copy for circulation.
