Jean-Michel Cousteau -
Explorer, diplomat for the environment, educator, and film producer, Jean-Michel Cousteau has communicated his love and concern for our water planet to people of all nations and generations for more than four decades. The son of ocean explorer Jacques Cousteau, Jean-Michel founded Ocean Futures Society in 1999 to carry on this pioneering work and to honor his heritage.

Jean-Michel serves as an impassioned diplomat for the environment, reaching out to the public through a variety of media, producing over 80 films, receiving Emmy awards, the Peabody Award, the 7 d'Or, and the Cable Ace Award, and authoring hundreds of articles and several books. Jean-Michel travels the globe, meeting with leaders and policymakers at the grassroots level and at the highest echelons of government and business, educating young people, documenting stories of change and hope, and lending his reputation and support to energize alliances for positive change.

About The Book:

An unforgettable biography by Jean-Michel Cousteau on the career and life of Jacques Cousteau, the frontiers he opened and the legend he created, and how Jean-Michel accepted to carry the flame of his father.

This work is a thoughtful account of a loving but sometimes challenging father-son relationship and the perceptive, definitive record of Cousteau family lore and the famed ocean explorer who charted a pioneering course into history.

In My Father, The Captain, Jean-Michel Cousteau hopes to shed new and meaningful light on the life and work of a man who inspired millions to reconsider our relationship with the sea and its creatures and, in the process, to understand a little more about himself and his family as well.

"Captain Cousteau was a complicated man," Jean-Michel writes. "He was a man of many different personalities, many different moods. But this is how it is with all great men, yes? We know the public mask, but it is the private face that reveals a man's true character. It is the man we know when the cameras are not filming."

My Father, The Captain contains fresh insights into the life and mind of a man who helped to jump-start a global conservation effort that continues to flourish. Jean-Michel Cousteau and his collaborator, New York Times best-selling author Daniel Paisner, offer an intimate portrait of the powerful moments Jean-Michel shared with his father, as well as the adventures from his father's life that have become part of the Cousteau family lore and legend.
