Sea of Cortez: A Leisurely Journal of Travel and Research Paperback - 2009
by John Steinbeck; Edward F. Ricketts
The collaboration of two friends-one a novelist, one a novelist, one a marinebiologist-produced a volume in which fascinating popular science is woven intoa narrative of man's dreams, his ideals, and his accomplishments through thecenturies. Sea of Cortez is one of those rare books that are all things toall readers. Actually the record of a brief collecting expedition in the lonely GUlfof California, it will be science to the scientist, philosophy to the philosopher, andto the average man an adventure in living and thinking.
Sea of Cortez is a book to be read and remembered on two levels. It is a journey through a remote and beautiful corner of the world, a diary filled with the daily excitements and triumphs of skillful and energetic men. It is also an invitation to see the world anewfrom a fresh vantage point and perhaps with a broader and more understanding spirit.
