The tale of one of Canada's most respected scientists, The Sea's Enthrall recounts a personal journey from a childhood passion for rock pools, to an illustrious award and an audience with the Emperor of Japan. 
It is a witty, often philosophical, sometimes poignant exposition on Life, as seen from the perspective of a man whose scientific training is wonderfully complemented by a curiosity for less empirical matters, such as poetry and religion. 
Tim Parsons is the only Canadian recipient of the Japan Prize.

With early memories of women selling peppers in the streets of Ceylon, where the author lived as a child, the southern English town of Bude during WWII, where he grew up, and emigration to Canada, where his formal education as an ocean scientist would take place, The Sea's Enthrall is more than a tale of an oceanographer.  It is a witty, at times philosophical, sometimes even poignant exposition on Life, as seen from the perspective of a man whose scientific training is wonderfully complemented by a curiosity for less empirical matters, such as poetry and religion. Oceanographers in training can learn from Dr. Parson's many insights into topical research; retired professors in the sciences will find many parallels in thought and experience; those who enjoy anecdotal storytelling, or travelogues, or simply appreciate learning about fascinating people who have managed to make a mark in the world - all these will enjoy The Sea's Enthrall.
