| Summary: | Blending history and anecdote, geography and reminiscence, science and exposition, the author tells the saga of the Atlantic Ocean. Until a thousand years ago, no humans ventured into the Atlantic or imagined traversing its vast infinity. But once the first daring mariners successfully navigated to far shores, whether it was the Vikings, the Irish, the Chinese, Christopher Columbus in the north, or the Portuguese and the Spanish in the south, the Atlantic evolved in the world's growing consciousness of itself. Moves from the Earth's geological origins to the age of exploration, World War II battles to modern pollution. |
