For more than three decades, Eric L. Mills has worked tirelessly to improve our understanding of history of oceanography. In doing this Mills has brought together his competence as an experienced oceanographer with the knowledge and methods of history of science, and he has combined his two fields of expertise with bravura. The topic in his recent book The Fluid Envelope of our Planet: How the Study of Ocean Currents Became a Science is the rise of dynamical oceanography. In this study, as in the previous works, Mills explores the many intellectual, professional, economic and national issues that shaped the formation of oceanography as a physical science discipline. He investigates how scientists came to understand fluid motions in the ocean as physical phenomena subject to mathematical analysis. In doing this Mills examines the development of hypothesis and theories on horizontal di fferences in temperature and salinity, today known as thermohaline circulation: the deep, slow movements of ocean waters produced by di fferences in density of the water. The density di fferences, in turn, are generated by variations of temperature and salinity.
