Book
Paperback. Condition: Good. 512 pages. Cover worn Travelling the circumference of the tru ly gigantic Pacific, Simon Winchester tells the story of the worl d's largest body of water, and - in matters economic, political a nd military - the ocean of the future. The Pacific is a world of tsunamis and Magellan, of the Bounty mutiny and the Boeing Compa ny. It is the stuff of the towering Captain Cook and his wide-ran ging network of exploring voyages, Robert Louis Stevenson and Adm iral Halsey. It is the place of Paul Gauguin and the explosion of the largest-ever American atomic bomb, on Bikini atoll, in 1951. It has an astonishing recent past, an uncertain present and a hu gely important future. The ocean and its peoples are the new lif eblood, fizz and thrill of America - which draws so many of its m inds and so much of its manners from the sea - while the inexorab le rise of the ancient center of the world, China, is a fixating fascination. The presence of rogue states - North Korea most noto riously today - suggest that the focus of the responsible world i s shifting away from the conventional post-war obsessions with Eu rope and the Middle East, and towards a new set of urgencies. Nav igating the newly evolving patterns of commerce and trade, the wo rld's most violent weather and the fascinating histories, problem s and potentials of the many Pacific states, Simon Winchester's t hrilling journey is a grand depiction of the future ocean.
