Books
A new children’s book To the Top of the World images and stories of an Arctic GEOTRACES expedition. The book is available for sale online at www.healycruisebook.com, at the Eight Cousins bookstore in Falmouth, MA (with proceeds from local sales will go to supporting Falmouth STEM Boosters' new science fair materials fund) and at the WHOI gift shop.
James (Jim) McClintock recently published a popular book Lost Antarctica – Adventures in a Disappearing Land. Written for the general public and with excellent reviews in Nature, Smithsonian Magazine, Kirkus Reviews, and strong endorsements by E.O. Wilson, Sylvia Earle, Bill Gates, among others, an entire chapter of Lost Antarctica is devoted to explaining ocean acidification and its current and potential impacts on Antarctic marine life. Jim was also recently interviewed on NPR's On Point show.
A children's book, Ocean Sunlight, on phytoplankton, photosynthesis, and the marine food web is now available. Click here for more information. View interview with the author and illustrator.
