“Ebbesmeyer’s
goal
is
noble
and
fresh:
to
show
how
the
flow
of
ocean
debris
around
the
world
reveals
‘the
music’
of
the
world’s
oceans.”—New
York
Times
Book
ReviewThrough
the
fascinating
stories
of
flotsam,
one
of
the
Earth’s
greatest
secrets
is
revealed.
In
Flotsametrics
and
the
Floating
World,
maverick
scientist
Curtis
Ebbesmeyer
details
how
his
obsession
with
floating
garbage—from
rubber
ducks
to
discarded
Nike
sneakers—helped
to
revolutionize
ocean
science.
Scientist
and
environmentalist
David
Suzuki,
host
of
CBC
TV’s
“The
Nature
of
Things,”
calls
Flotsametrics
and
the
Floating
World
“Science
and
storytelling
at
its
very
best.”
“A
very
enjoyable,
if
at
times
dark,
book”
(Nature),
it
is
must
reading
for
anyone
interested
in
Oceanography,
Environmental
Science,
and
the
way
our
world works.
