520    "Through stories of history, culture, and animals, the 
       author explains how water temperature, salinity, gravity, 
       and the movement of Earth’s tectonic plates all interact 
       in a complex dance, supporting life at the smallest 
       scale—plankton—and the largest—giant sea turtles, whales, 
       humankind. 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 introduces the messengers, 
       passengers, and voyagers that rely on interlinked systems 
       of vast currents, invisible ocean walls, and underwater 
       waterfalls"--|cProvided by publisher.
