Epigraph

"The time has come," the Walrus said,
"To talk of many things:
Of ships and shoals and amphoras,
And sunken gold of kings,
And if there's treasure in a pot,
And what the future brings."
--with apologies to Lewis Carroll

Dedication

To Loni, Stevie, Carl, and Christopher

First words

Come, put on your swim mask and fins and compressed-air tank and dive with us through the looking glass into the sea.

In June, 1943, a French Navy captain named Jacque-Yves Cousteau reversed a billion years of evolution.
