Description

Sylvia Earle was only age three when she fell in love with the ocean. She dedicated her life to exploring it, studying it, and educating others about ocean conservation. As a professional female scientist whose career began in the 1960s, she faced obstacles and discrimination due to her gender. Nevertheless, this oceanographer, marine botanist, ecologist, aquanaut, and writer rose to the top of her field. This insightful volume highlights the compelling story of Sylvia Earle, a woman whose deep love for the ocean led her to become the first female chief scientist of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
