Seller's Description:
Very good in Very good jacket. [10], 388, [2] pages. Sealab Aquanaut Rosters. Notes. Index. Ben Hellwarth is a journalist, author, editor, ghostwriter, and all-purpose wordsmith. He won a number of notable awards during a 15-year stretch working full time for newspapers before landing a contract with Simon & Schuster to write his first book, the well-received nonfiction narrative SEALAB: America's Forgotten Quest to Live and Work on the Ocean Floor. It's the first book to tell the full story of a game-changing U.S. Navy project of the 1960s whose legacy lives on in deep-sea diving and manned undersea operations. Parade magazine called SEALAB "as captivating as an adventure novel." A rigorous approach to research and reporting has long been a hallmark of Ben's journalism, especially when it comes to explaining the complicated science and technology involved in the SEALAB ventures. Derived from a Kirkus review: Hellwarth chronicles American efforts to create an underwater habitat that would open the ocean's depths to exploration, at the same time that astronauts were racing to the moon. In 1959, Navy doctor George Bond, was given the project to train and equip seamen to escape from damaged submarines while avoiding the bends. Bond envisaged expanding the program beyond rescue missions to encompass a wide range of underwater activities-scientific and industrial as well as military. President Kennedy in 1961 proposed a major underwater exploration program as a matter of absolute necessity to the national interest. This resulted in the creation of the Sealab program, which Bond led. The space and underwater exploration programs shared key personnel such as Malcolm Scott Carpenter, the astronaut who also led a Sealab II team that lived underwater successfully for 30 days. The Sealab III mission developed a serious leak, and that aspect of the program ended-although offshoots from it continued. Another offshoot was the development of technology necessary for off-shore drilling of oil and gas.
