Book Review

The Machine in Neptune's Garden: Historical Perspectives on Technology and the Marine Environment. Edited by Helen M. Rozwadowski and David K. van Keuren. Canton, Mass.: Science History Publications, 2004. 399 pp. Bibliographical references and index. Cloth $49.95.

This book is a most welcome contribution to the history of the marine environment. Those interested in the history of oceanography will be familiar with edited volumes from international congresses, which are expansive in subject matter and authorship, with limited usefulness to historians. In contrast, The Machine in Neptune's Garden is drawn from the third Matthew Fontaine Maury Workshop in the History of Oceanography, and all of the authors seem determined to address questions in which historians, rather than scientists, take an abiding interest.
