A first rate insight into Shipwrecks & Archaeology.

From the ships of Homer's Greece right up to the rediscovery of the Titanic, Peter Throckmorton was able to explain underwater archaeology in an interesting and readable way - even for those who feel the content of any book on such a subject would be right over their head. This man knew his subject, taught that subject and, sadly, lost his life investigating that subject. Thankfully, he has left us all with a quality book in which this somewhat awkward subject is explained for all to enjoy. This is a large coffee-table book of 240 pages packed with information. The photographs - both ancient and modern, and the graphics are of the highest standard and there is no diver on earth who will not learn something from within these pages. Altogether a truly excellent product. NM
