Mapping the Oceans: Discovering the World Beneath Our Seas

Combining remarkable history with pioneering science, Mapping the Oceans gives an account of the most tantalising phenomena - the sea.

The world’s oceans cover more than 70 per cent of the Earth’s surface, and yet we know more about the Moon than what mysteries lie beneath their waves.

Produced in collaboration with the National Maritime Museum, this book includes a magnificent selection of rare cartography from its archives, including historic sea charts and topographic maps of the ocean floor.
