Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
This engaging memoir presents one man's lifelong love of the ocean and gives a highly personal, behindthescenes look at California's magnificent and innovative aquariums. David Powell, for many years curator of the worldrenowned Monterey Bay Aquarium, tells the story of his life as a pioneering aquarist. From handling great white sharks to transporting delicate fish on bumpy airplanes to night diving for fish in the Indian Ocean, A Fascination for Fish describes many of the mindboggling challenges that make modern aquariums possible and offers an intriguing glimpse beneath the ocean's surface.Powell's career in diving and aquarium development goes back to the beginning of modern methods in both areas. From the early techniques he devised to get fish into aquariums alive and healthy to his later exploratory dive to a depth of eleven hundred feet in a twoperson submarine, Powell's actionpacked narrative inspires laughter, wonder, and philosophical reflection. A Fascination for Fish also includes many stories about Powell's diving adventures on the California coast, in the Sea of Cortez, and in many remote and exotic locations around the world.
