The Great Barrier Reef is the most spectacular marine environment on earth, a true wonder of the world. Historian and explorer Iain McCalman recounts in full the dramatic story of the reef and the people who have been captivated by it for two centuries. Told through the lives of twenty intrepid souls, from Captain James Cook and his voyage across a mysterious coral maze to the world's leading reef scientist, John "Charlie" Veron, whose personal mission is to rescue the reef from catastrophe. Explorers, scientists, beachcombers, photographers, divers, and indigenous peoples and the castaways they adopted -- were drawn to the reef for different reasons, but all shared one thing: a passion for this vast coral country. The reef has been seen variously as a labyrinth of terror, a nurturing heartland, a scientific challenge, and a fragile global wonder.
