Soundings: The Story of the Remarkable Woman Who Mapped the Ocean Floor, by Hali Felt
Until the early 1950s, scientists knew little about the ocean floor; most assumed there was nothing there. Then came Columbia University's geophysical lab, sonar, and Marie Tharp. In this fascinating biography, Felt, who teaches writing at the University of Pittsburgh, profiles a determined and talented woman who, starting at age 28, spent her life translating data into maps, work that was crucial to the development of tectonic-plate theory and continental drift.
