* This book will appeal to a diverse group of readers: sailors, people interested in how the oceans work and how they control the Earth's climate, the vision-impaired community, those who like seagoing adventure stories, and anyone who wants to see a strong woman character. * A firsthand account of a pirate attack off the coast of Somalia *Americans' experience of 9/11 from the helpless position of being at sea in a microcosmic world cut off from the rest of the world * A behind-the-scenes look into the life of an oceanographer and a realistic description of how science at sea is accomplished * There is a large community of blind and visually impaired individuals and their families who are looking for inspirational figures leading successful, productive lives with a disability. A blind woman who is a top ocean physicist, leading months-long research trips on huge vessels all over the world's oceans, is a great inspiration. * The scientific concepts presented in this book are woven into the story and are explained in a manner that is easy for the reader to understand, since the author was a "layman" when he began going to sea. This information is timely and satisfying to those readers eager to learn more about how the oceans affect global warming.
