was a French naval officer, oceanographer, filmmaker and author. He co-invented the first successful
Aqua-Lung
, open-circuit SCUBA (
self-contained underwater breathing apparatus
). The apparatus assisted him in producing some of the first underwater documentaries.
Cousteau wrote many books describing his undersea explorations. In his first book,
The Silent World: A Story of Undersea Discovery and Adventure
, Cousteau surmised the existence of the
echolocation
abilities of
porpoises
. The book was adapted into an underwater documentary called
The Silent World
. Co-directed by Cousteau and
Louis Malle
, it was one of the first films to use
underwater cinematography
to document the ocean depths
in color
. The film won the 1956
Palme d'Or
at the
Cannes Film Festival
and remained the only documentary to do so until 2004, when
Fahrenheit 9/11
received the award. It was also awarded the
Academy Award for Best Documentary
in 1957.
From 1966 to 1976, he hosted
The Undersea World of Jacques Cousteau
, a documentary television series, presented on American commercial television stations. A second documentary series,
The Cousteau Odyssey
, ran from 1977 to 1982 on public television stations.

Shipping and Packaging details: I ship everything with cardboard backing. Additionally, I slip all autographed photos inside sturdy photo-protective sleeves. Payment details: Typically, I ship paypal payments right away. PAYPAL is recommended. International shipping will be higher as all international orders go through the Global Shipping program.  How I obtained my autographs, and why I promise a FULL MONEY-BACK GUARANTEE: As a kid, from roughly the years 1965 to 1973, and later from 1974-the present, I have amassed an enormous collection of autographed sports and celebrity memorabilia. In most cases, using Jack Smalling's baseball address lists and other assorted address lists, I wrote to both active and retired baseball players, sending them letters, requests for signatures, and self-addressed-stamped envelopes. This is how I obtained thousands of autographs. I also obtained many autographs in person at area parks and hotels.In the 1980's and 1990's, I travelled the country doing shows (20 National Conventions) and would buy quantities of autographs through player signings. I have every reason to believe that all of the autographs I'm selling are absolutely authentic. I stand by every item I sell. Upon purchasing an item from me through eBay, you may return that item, in the condition in which I shipped it to you, within 14 days of receipt of that item if you are not satisfied with the item.   I am selling each item "as is", per the guarantee I've promised above. All the old time autograph dealers know me and the professional authenticators will vouch for my reputation as well. I do this on a part time basis, so sometimes emails take a day. I have worked hard for my feedback rating. The last thing I want to do is damage my credibility, so if you have legitimate concerns about any item you win from me on eBay, I'll make every effort to remedy the situation to your satisfaction. PLEASE NOTE: Most items come with certificates of authenticity from outside companies (JSA and PSA predominantly; they are the best). I have spent lots of money with third party authenticators and have had very few come back without passing. Sincerely, Joe Binder , Downers Grove, Illinois
