'a richly illustrated and meticulously researched archival study of the records of the HMS Challenger...Compelling contemporary photographs from the archives of the National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, London, animate these spaces with images capturing life aboard the Challenger...Jones offers a compelling portrait of the Challenger as an innovative investigation of the ocean environment. Yet the value of the book is the promise that still more stories can be told about the voyage and its role in the history of oceanography.' Anne M. Ricculli (Morris Museum) for H-Sci-Med-Tech
