“The Living Sea” IsBook
Of the Month for May
One of the most fascinating
true adventure stories of our time,
The Living Sea, by Capt. Jacques
Yves Cousteau, is the Book of the
' Month Club selection for May.
* Many readers will remember
! Captain Cousteau’s now-famous
first book about underwater ex
ploration, The Silent World, pub
lished a decade ago. In the inter
vening years, the noted French
diver and his associates —often at
the peril of their lives—have ven
tured deeper and deeper into a
vast world which has scarcely yet
been glimpsed; an underwater
region unknown and even unsus
pected by most human beings. The
Living Sea is an absorbing narra
tive account—and a fascinating
photographic record as well—of the
discoveries Cousteau and his daring
explorers have made.
