Story
A few minutes before midnight on April 14, 1912, the "unsinkable" RMS Titanic, on her maiden voyage to New York, struck an iceberg. Less than three hours later she lay at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. While the world has remained fascinated by the tragedy, the most amazing drama of those fateful hours was not played out aboard the doomed liner. It took place on the decks of two other ships, one 58 miles distant from the sinking Titanic, the other barely 10 miles away.

Humankind has explored every continent on earth, climbed its tallest mountains, and gone into space. But the largest areas of our planet remain a mystery: the deep oceans. At over 36,000 feet deep, these areas closest to earth’s core have remained nearly impossible to reach - until now. Technological innovations, engineering breakthroughs and the derring-do of a unique team of engineers and scientists, led by explorer Victor Vescovo, brought together an audacious global quest to dive to the deepest points of all five oceans for the first time in history.

Although we think we know the story of the Titanic - the famously unsinkable ship that hit an iceberg on its maiden voyage from Britain to America in April 1912 - little has been written about what happened to the survivors after the tragedy. How did the loss of the ship shape the lives of the people who survived? How did those who were saved feel about those who perished? And how did they remember that terrible night?

In 1991, acting on a tip from a local fisherman, two scuba divers discovered a sunken German U-boat, complete with its crew of 60 men, not too far off the New Jersey coast. The divers, realizing the momentousness of their discovery, began probing the mystery. Over the next six years, they became expert and well-traveled researchers, taught themselves German, hunted for clues in Germany, and constructed theories corrective of the history books, all in an effort to identify this sunken U-boat and its crew.

In the spring of 2010 the world watched for weeks as more than 200 million gallons of crude oil billowed from a hole three miles deep in the Gulf of Mexico. Warnings of various and imminent environmental consequences dominated the news. Deepwater drilling - largely ignored or misunderstood to that point - exploded in the American consciousness in the worst way possible. Fire on the Horizon, written by veteran oil rig captain John Konrad and longtime Washington Post journalist Tom Shroder, recounts in vivid detail the life of the rig itself, from its construction to its improbable journey in the year 2000 to its end.

Publisher's Summary
The legendary explorer of the Titanic shares inside stories of danger, suspense, and discovery - plus previously untold stories about his own dyslexia and how it has shaped his life.
Best known for finding the doomed ship Titanic, celebrated adventurer Robert Ballard has a lifetime of stories about exploring the ocean depths. Now he gets personal, telling the stories behind his most exciting discoveries - including how a top-secret naval mission provided the opportunity for his Titanic discovery - and opens up about his private tragedies. He frankly recounts the struggles he has worked through, rising to prominence as a scientist whose celebrity drew academic scorn. And he reveals the triumph and agony in the years after his Titanic find: While media around the world clamored for interviews, he grappled with the death of his 20-year-old son and the collapse of his marriage amid academic and military career demands. Finally, he addresses his late-in-life discovery of his own dyslexia, which he now sees as a gift that has shaped his life and accomplishments.
Twice a New York Times best-selling author, here Ballard partners with investigative reporter and best-selling author Christopher Drew to tell the dramatic and often surprising stories behind his newsworthy discoveries. Timed to appear as the National Geographic Channel airs a special documentary about Ballard's explorations, Into the Deep will intrigue adventure lovers young and old. Brilliant, insightful, and surprising, Into the Deep is the definitive story of the dangers and discoveries, conflicts and triumphs that have shaped the remarkable life of an American hero.

A Study of the Ego
This is the autobiography of a self-centred man who, probably with the help of s ghost writer, has tried desperately to cover up the ugliest parts. Although the stories told are fascinating, the listening left me with a bad taste in my mouth. Thank God, I am not on Robert D. Ballard's team, or in his family.

Outstanding.
I have been a fan of Dr. Ballard since grade school. This book is a great insight into his life and projects. Even if you haven’t heard of him the story is captivating and relatable for everyone. The emotional depth and thoughtfulness of each of the chapters has a genuine feeling to it that most books don’t even skim anymore.

A treasure well worth reading
I don't normally listen to or read autobiographies/memoirs. I only did this one because I was fortunate enough to meet the author. After listening to his story, I can honestly say I'm so glad that I took the time to listen to his story. It is not just an autobiography, but an adventure of a immense proportion. Doctor Ballard is able to transport you through time and space to share the adventures of his life. Dr Ballard also gives insight into the workings of a dyslexic mind. Through his own struggles in learning to focus and overcome, never allowing himself to quit, he gives others the hope and courage to succeed.

The master of exploration delivers again
I was 6 years old when Bob Ballard found the Titanic and I thought he was the coolest person on the planet. Now I'm 42 and find him even cooler because he now lets us know just how human and riddle he is in his autobiography.
This was one of those books that I finished in a few days. I put it on anytime I had a spare moment.
Scott Brick is it good narrator and has a great voice. however, there are a few times that his pauses and inflection made some poignant parts seem saccharine. But overall he did a great job and it seemed like Bob himself was narrating it.
