FINANCIAL TIMES 2023 HIGHLIGHT'Helen Czerski weaves together
physics and biology, history and science, in a beautifully poetic
way.'Professor Alice Roberts'In Helen Czerski's hands, the
mechanical becomes magical. An instant classic.'Tristan Gooley,
author of How to Read Water'Blue Machine is quite simply one of the
best books I have ever read.'Dr George McGavin, zoologist,
entomologist and broadcaster'A fascinating dive into the essential

compelling stories that masterfully navigate this most complex
system.'Gaia Vince, science journalist, broadcaster and author of
Nomad Century All of the Earth's ocean, from the equator to the
poles, is a single engine powered by sunlight - a blue
machine.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 &,amp, culture.
In a book that will recalibrate our view of this defining feature
of our planet, physicist Helen Czerski dives deep to illuminate 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.From the ancient Polynesians who navigated
the Pacific by reading the waves to permanent residents of the deep
such as the Greenland shark that can live for hundreds of years,
she explains the vast currents, invisible ocean walls and
underwater waterfalls that all have their place in the ocean's
complex, interlinked system. Timely, elegant and passionately
argued, Blue Machine presents a fresh perspective on what it means
to be a citizen of an ocean planet. The understanding it offers is
crucial to our future.Drawing on years of experience at the
forefront of marine science, Helen Czerski captures the magnitude
and subtlety of Earth's defining feature, showing us the thrilling
extent to which we are at the mercy of this great engine.
