Join author-journalist Melissa Sevigny and award-winning writer Susan Casey as they take you to the farthest reaches of the Colorado River and into the depths of the sea. Brave the Wild River tells the story of pioneering botanists Elzada Clover and Lois Jotter who, in 1938, traveled the world’s most dangerous river to become the first people to survey the plants of the Grand Canyon. In The Underworld, Susan Casey takes you across the globe as she interviews marine geologists, marine biologists, and oceanographers to learn more about the ecological importance of the creatures who live in the deepest places on the planet.
