The Earth Heroes books feature the youth and careers of the world s greatest environmentalists and the waves of influence that spread from their ideas and actions. This second volume in the series features Champions of the Oceans that explored the realm of the sea - such historic and contemporary greats as Jacques Cousteau, inventor of scuba equipment, William Beebe, the bathysphere deep-sea diver and Sylvia Earle.

"In addition to introducing us to some remarkable "oceanauts" like my father Jacques Cousteau, this book takes us on a journey of their lives through engaging stories about how they became who they are and why. It(1)s a reminder that everyone has a contribution to make to improve the world just by being themselves."
