Bathysphere Book: Effects of the Luminous Ocean Depths

This is wide-ranging philosophical and sensual account of early deep-sea exploration. It chronicles the first voyage to the deep ocean in 1930, focusing on the experiences of its human participants during a transformative era in America. This begins with marine biologist Gloria Hollister aboard a ship near the Atlantic island of Nonsuch, where she communicates with her colleague William Beebe, who is suspended in a four-and-a-half-foot steel ball (the bathysphere) 3,000 feet below. As Beebe observes unprecedented marine life and bioluminescent phenomena.
