Atlantic is a biography of a tremendous space that has been
central to the ambitions of explorers, scientists, and warriors,
and continues profoundly to affect our character, attitudes, and
dreams. Simon Winchester makes the Atlantic come vividly alive.
Spanning the ocean's story from its geological origins to the age
of exploration--covering the Vikings, the Irish, the Basques, John
Cabot, and Christopher Columbus in the north, and the Portuguese
and the Spanish in the south--and from World War II battles to
today's struggles with pollution and overfishing, his narrative is
epic, intimate, and awe inspiring. More than a mere history, this
is an unforgettable journey of unprecedented scope by one of the
most gifted writers in the English language.
