Wild Sea: A History of the Southern Ocean by Joy McCann

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Interior and binding are excellent.

Unimpeded by any landmass, the mysterious Southern Ocean flows completely around Earth from west to east between the seasonally shifting icy continent of Antarctica and the coastlines and islands of Australia, New Zealand, South America, and South Africa.

Weaving together sea captains’ journals, whalers’ log books, explorers’ letters, scientific research, and ancient beliefs with her own voyage of discovery, Joy McCann reveals the secrets of a little-known ocean and its importance as a barometer of climate change. (back cover)
