Three Adventures: Galapagos, Titicaca, the Blue Holes (The Undersea Discoveries of Jacques-Yves Cousteau)

Three incredible adventures.
For most people any one of the three separate adventures to; The Galapagos Islands, Lake Titicaca or the Blue Holes of Belize and the Bahamas would have been sufficient for a book in it's own right. With Jacques Cousteau, however, this is just another day at the office and once he has made the points he wishes to impart - it's always time to move on. When my own second book "Diving Belize" ...

Amazing Little Book.
I have had Father Jacques Philippe's books recommended to me on a number of occasions and by a number of different people. I have picked up the four I can find that are available in English. The title of this book, Searching for and Maintaining Peace, just grabbed my attention and had to be read first. The subtitle of this book is: A Small Treatise on Peace of Heart, yet for a small book of 110 ...

Will one day be a spiritual classic.
This is the second book by Father Jacques Philippe that I have read. It is just as good as the first and I must state that it is a must read for growth in the spiritual life. Father Philippe writes a wonderful little book about the life of prayer and how to pray, and he goes through a number of the Saints of the church and their writings on prayer. He gives some amazing advice. First and ...

A book to give you Gold Fever.
As I began to read this book again after a gap of so many years since I first settled down to enjoy these excellent stories of ships, shipwrecks, divers and treasures (what more could I ever want from any single book!), I found myself willing the Cousteau on in their quest to find those hidden treasures. This is a gripping tale - told only as the legendary Jacques Cousteau could tell and one ...

Will become a Christian Spiritual Classic!
This is the third book by Father Jacques Philippe that I have read, and already I wish there were more than 4 available in English. I am certain he will go down in history as one of the spiritual masters like Brother Lawrence, C.S. Lewis and others. This book is written in such simple and accessible language, yet with a message so profound any believer could grow from encountering it. Fr. ...

A Fantastic Treasure For Your Library
Cousteau's lifelong love of the ocean lives on! He and Philippe Diole wrote this very non-technical book that does a nice, thorough job of describing the general life and features of the octopus, with one chapter on the squid. (So if you love the squid, this is probably not your book.) Written in 1973, the book is still relevant at the beginning of the 21st century. Great full-page color ...

An extraordinary work in which the friendly and intimate relationship between man and whales gives way to wonder and awe as Captain Cousteau recounts his expeditions accross the oceans of the world in search of the mightiest creature to have ever lived. Beginning with a fascinating look at some of the remarkable qualities of the whale - its size and the power implied by such enormous proportions, ...

Still Great Value for Money.
This book was first published in 1974 and yet it still contain items of significant interest for today's modern scuba diver. Jacques Cousteau will forever remain the world's greatest diving pioneer and it is through these books that the modern diver is able to add something to their own knowledge of the sport of scuba diving - a "something" that is not found in any "how to learn to dive" book. ...

Still able to impart valuable lessons about conservation.
This book was first published in the English language in 1971 as the second in a series of several books - each with it's own specific topic. Some of the photographs may look a little jaded - by today's standards, but because this book would have attracted a 5 star rating in 1971 I believe it should still attract that same rating today. "Life & Death in a Coral Sea" may be something of an ...

Outstanding work!
If you feel any kinship with 20th century modern art, and are unaware of how deeply influential tribal artifacts have been, this two-volume set will be both a delight and a revelation. Suitable as an introduction to both, and useful for novices or connoisseurs. Should you discover an interest in tribal art as a result, and would like to view the remarkable aesthetic range available through ...

Maybe Druillet's best
This book is a true treasure. If you have never seen Druillet's 70s work, you have missed a master at his peak. The stories are dark, apocalyptic, and frankly disjoint. The reason to read Druillet, though, is the imagery. It is deeply layered in scale - the finest pen-marks turn out to be human forms wrenched from Dante's Inferno. At larger scale, he builds textures up from textures, crushing ...

Everything the Diver wants to know.
This is yet another of those books by the legendary Jacques Cousteau which were published in the early seventies and, in writing this series of reviews, I have found them to be as relevant today as they ever were. In this particular book we have underwater photographs of the highest calibre. In fact some are so good it is hard to believe they are over 30 years old. As far as the factual ...

In the School of the Holy Spirit
Good book. It is easy to read and understand. If you already have a spiritual life, you will really understand and appreciate this book. The book has steps on how to listen to the inspirations of the Holy Spirit. I will recommend this book to friends who want to progress of their spiritual/prayer life.

One man's lifetime of incredible adventures.
If any modern enthusiastic scuba diver had experienced just one of the many diving adventures recounted in this book - they would be dining out on that story for the rest of their life. Incredible as it may seem, however, each and every one of these outstanding diving adventures happened to one man. His name was Albert Falco and his occupation was Chief Diver on board the ship Calypso under the ...

Still a great book about Sharks.
One of my proudest possessions is a personal letter from Jacques Cousteau which is framed and hangs on the wall of my study. Cousteau was more than just a great man and his books are a testament to his pioneering work involving so many different aspect of the sea and everything about the sea. For many years the Shark was perceived as everything that was evil and frightening as far as the sea ...
