 It's publication day for The Blue Machine in the US and Canada.  Same book, with a different subtitle and miles in some places instead of km (but still mostly SI units, yay!).

If you're an ocean scientist and your family don't understand what you do and why, this might help.

"I love Helen Czerski’s writing, and this is her richest work yet—as clear as springwater, yet as filled with fascinating things as the ocean itself."- Sarah Bakewell

 @33b0a4fd Can they really not cope with km in a science book?!

 @33b0a4fd Please tell me the Canadian edition has km. That’s all we use here.

 @33b0a4fd Thank you for narrating the audiobook version yourself (which narration, BTW, is really terrific). I’m blind and so doomed to use audiobooks, and I find that too often scientists farm out audio narration to people who clearly don’t understand what they’re reading, which makes listening difficult/painful.  So thanks for taking the time to do it yourself.  #Ocean #BlueMachine #Books #Audiobooks #Bookstodon
