"I have become rather bored with the soapbox rantings.



The solution to pollution is dilution.

Jacques Cousteau, way to go!"

By Lee at All Ears, Cupertino, CA

"This memoir by the legendary scientist, explorer and environmental advocate speaks to both his passions. He captivates with stores of his pioneering exploration of the underworld, and he shocks with his accounts of the destructive impact humans have had on the once virgin seas. Both amazing and disturbing. The Human, the Orchid, and the Octopus by Jacques Cousteau"

"Very good - depressing as all get out but an interesting read. It is a bit dry at points which made it hard to read but that's my only quibble."
