In Stock at Our Distributor - Usually Ships in 1-5 days
DescriptionAtlantic is a biography of a tremendous space that has been central to the ambitions of explorers, scientists, and warriors, and continues to affect our character, attitudes, and dreams. Poets to potentates, seers to sailors, fishermen to foresters—all have a relationship with this great body of gray and heaving sea. Winchester chronicles that relationship, making the Atlantic come vividly alive. More than a mere history, Atlantic is an unforgettable journey of unprecedented scope by one of the most gifted writers in the English language. About the AuthorSimon Winchester is the acclaimed author of many books, including The Professor and the Madman, The Man Who Loved China, A Crack in the Edge of the World, and Krakatoa. Those books were New York Times bestsellers and appeared on numerous best and notable lists. In 2006, Mr. Winchester was made an officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) by her Majesty the Queen. He lives in Manhattan and in western Massachusetts. Praise for Atlantic LP: Great Sea Battles, Heroic Discoveries, Titanic Storms, and a Vast Ocean of a Million Stories…“Winchester brings a knowledge as vast and deep as his subject to this history of the Atlantic Ocean.” |
