"Simon Winchester tackles this 'oceanic behemoth of eye-watering complexity' by focusing on key moments since 1950 that speak to the greater trends and larger truths about the ocean's significance to us today. [] Winchester leads us from the Bering Strait to Cape Horn, the Yangtze River to the Panama Canal, and to the many small islands that lie in between. He recounts the atomic tests on the atoll of Bikini, which created a surreal landscape that must still be left vacant for fear of radiation poisoning. PACIFIC also tells the story of the little transistor radio and how it sparked the digital revolution, from Japan to Silicon Valley, altering the ocean's destiny. Winchester includes tales of alarming discoveries on the Great Barrier Reef and grand expeditions to mysterious vents on the ocean's floor. He examines the geopolitical shifts that shaped the ocean's vast land areas, from the rise of North Korea's rogue state to the end of European colonization, and addresses the environmental degradation and climate shifts that now threaten this majestic body of water. [] Along the way, Winchester looks at the political turmoil in Australia, the relationship between the Koreas, and recent confrontations that engaged China and the United States. 'The Pacific,' he writes, 'is the ocean where, quite literally, East meets West. . . There is challenge in the air, the sound of clashing swords and angry words.'" [jacket copy] "A series of high-resolution literary snapshots. . . As we've come to expect from Winchester, there are plenty of delights. . . his passionate research undergirds this superb analysis of a world wonder."--Kirkus Reviews. "Winchester does a virtuoso job. . . A giant Aladdin's rug, which he then gamely invites his readers to climb aboard."--The New York Times. Fine hardcover w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding, wrapped in a bright-as-new jacket. Signed by Author(s).
