Physicist Helen Czerski discusses her book Blue Machine: How the Ocean Shapes our World, a deep dive into the murky depths of the ocean engine, examining the messengers, passengers and voyagers that live in it, travel over it, and survive because of it.
Earth is home to a huge story that is rarely told—that of our ocean. Not the fish or the dolphins, but the massive ocean engine itself: what it does, why it works, and the many ways it has influenced animals, weather and human history & culture. This is the spectacular story of Earth's dynamic ocean.
