Fathoming the Ocean

Congratulations to Helen Rozwadowski, former Penn HSS Grad, on the recent publication of her book, Fathoming the Ocean: The Discovery and Exploration of the Deep Sea (Harvard University Press, 2005). I just finished reading it, and I have to say it is fantastic (even better than the dissertation version!) This book is an excellent example of how to take good, solid history of science and turn it into something that should earn a much wider audience.

Any other newly-published books by Penn HSS Grads (or even faculty)? Feel free to post congratulations on this blog if you come across something like that...
