The Mysterious Science of the Sea, 17751943 by Natascha Adamowsky (Albert-Ludwigs-Universitat Freiburg, Germany)
The depths of the oceans are the last example of terra incognita on earth. Adamowsky presents a study of the sea, arguing that contrary to popular belief post-Enlightenment discourse on the sea was still subject to mystery and wonder, and not wholly rationalized by science.
