A Passion for Gold: An Autobiography
This book is a fascinating mishmosh of personal narrative, oceanic lore, hard science and various notes on beachcombing, sneaker waterfalls (that is inaccurate, but it's what came to mind and maybe will make you more curious to read the book!) the history of plastic, etc. Some of the stuff about ocean currents was a little hard for me to grasp and I wish I had a person nearby who could explain it, because it seemed important and interesting. I highly recommend this book if you are curious about and/or care about oceans and currents and what happens to things that fall or get dropped into oceans, etc.
