Long before paleontology and comparative anatomy took shape as scientific fields in the late 18th century, humanity was aware that certain animal species had vanished from existence.

Until the early 1870s, very little was known about the creatures lurking in the depths of our oceans. The first systematic investigation into life in our oceans was made during the circumnavigation of the HMS Challenger. Scientists credit this voyage as the beginning of modern oceanography. In this book, Graham Bell takes listeners through the voyage station by station, following the progress of the expedition and introducing some of the new and strange animals that were hauled up from the depths of the ocean and seen by human eyes for the first time.

We explore stories of people in science, while elaborating on the scientific details so that experts and non-experts can relate to science better in today's whimsical world that acts to spread mis-information.
