In fact, my first introduction to him was via Bill Murray's character in Wes Anderson's A Life Aquatic, which was inspired by Cousteau. Matsen portrays Cousteau as a flawed explorer, environmentalist and philosopher who inspired a generation to look beyond land's limits and under the water. His work to focus the world's attention on the health of the oceans and the need for sustainable practices cannot be underestimated. Nor can his contribution to the invention of the Aqua-Lung and advancing water-based technologies. Far from idolising Cousteau, Matsen's writing feels authentic and provides the reader with a character study that looks beyond his lengthy achievements. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
With the cooperation of many of Jacques Cousteau's collaborators, friends, and family, Matsen provides the first full picture of the remarkable life of the world's most renowned oceanographer. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

The end of his life and the mess of a family he left behind was sad. I do finally understand now why PBS always makes sure to use Jean Michel's whole name on his series. I always thought it was strange but now I know he isn't allowed to just use Cousteau ( )
