Books By D. G. Bowers - Author

David Bowers was born in Liverpool and grew up by the sea in North Wales. In his mid-twenties he decided to seek his fortune in the North Sea oil fields and, as a first step on the way to this goal, he trained to be an oceanographer. He never made a second step and the fortune didn't appear, but he did instead find a career researching into, and teaching about, the secrets of the ocean. This work has taken him to Australia, Africa and North America and on many scientific research cruises in the seas around the British Isles. David taught courses on oceanography for many years at Bangor University, from where he retired as an Emeritus Professor. He believes that science should be shared with the general public and that it is important that books make scientific discoveries accessible to all.
