Content Description
Following his acclaimed bestseller Atlantic, Simon Winchester delivers an enthralling account of the Pacific Ocean and its pivotal role in the modern world. Focusing on ten key moments in the recent history of the ocean and the surrounding nations — starting with the 1950s Bikini Atoll hydrogen bomb tests to the rise of Japan's electronics industry, California's surfing culture, and China's emergence as a global economic superpower — Winchester blends narrative history, geography, and travel writing to explore the sea of the future.
