Preview Sea Legs: Tales Of A Woman Oceanographer
Description:
Sea Legs is the story of Kathleen Crane, one of the first women oceanographers out of UCSD's world-renowned Scripps Institution of Oceanography. By turns autobiographical and objective, Crane tells how her quest for freedom led her to the sea and her research of deep-sea underwater volcanoes. As a consequence of the difficulty of working in the U.S. gender segregated society during the 70s, she felt her only scientific future lay with cooperation with Europeans and even the Soviet Union during the height of the Cold War. In the process she became an ''accidental diplomat.'' An explorer, environmentalist, and filmmaker, Crane's story encompasses the world's oceans, politics, and international relations, scientific espionage, ships, and a passion for the natural world. At its heart, however, it's a story about humanity and the forces that drive people to persevere, despite the odds, and do the things they love.
