Adventures in Ocean Exploration
by Robert D. Ballard
The book is by the man who is widely credited with discovering the Titanic (remember it took a whole team of people, not just 1 man!) I assume it follows on from his earlier books, or is a look at the various shipwrecks he has visited.
There are somewhat confusing reports as to when this book will be published, and it's cost. Barnes & Noble LINK list it as being available from April 2001 in hardback at a cost of $40US. The only other listing I have found is at Amazon.Com who have a different edition listed for publication on the same date, but at a cost of $100US. LINK Amazon also list a $32US reduced from $40LINK copy as being published in October, which is the copy B&N are advertising as available now.

ISBN: 0792279921 / 0792283643
Published: October 2001 / April 2001
Publisher: National Geographic Society
Price $40US / $100US
Binding: Hardback
