DJ has slight wear and soiling. 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 OBE born 28 September 1944 is a British author and journalist who resides in Massachusetts in the United States. Through his career at The Guardian Winchester covered numerous significant events including Bloody Sunday and the Watergate Scandal. As an author Winchester has written or contributed to more than thirty nonfiction books has written one novel and his articles have appeared in several travel publications including Condé Nast Traveler Smithsonian Magazine and National Geographic. Winchester's time in Northern Ireland placed him around several events of The Troubles including the events of Bloody Sunday and the Belfast Hour of Terror. In 1982 while working as chief foreign feature writer for The Sunday Times Winchester was on location for the invasion of the Falkland Islands by Argentine forces. Suspected of being a spy Winchester was held as a prisoner in Tierra del Fuego for three months. Derived from a Kirkus review: The prolific journalist and historian returns with a story both geographically immense and profoundly personal. Winchester offers a tale about the Atlantic Ocean that is variably genial cautionary lyrical admonitory terrifying horrifying and inspiring. He begins with a memory from 1963—his youthful transatlantic crossing aboard the passenger liner Empress of Britain—and returns to the birth of the Atlantic perhaps 540 million years ago providing a history of its formation and development. Winchester then looks at humans' "infant" acquaintance with the ocean noting that people first settled its shores about 164000 years ago on the western coast of Africa. They soon ventured out on the ocean then endeavored to cross it—the Irish could have done it he says but there's no hard evidence. The author chronicles the stories of Leif Eriksson John Cabot and Amerigo Vespucci and notes that the "schoolboy" phase of the Atlantic's life includes our attempts to understand it—to chart it measure it discover its mineral vegetable and animal bounties and puzzle over its mysteries. For the "lover" phase of the Atlantic's history Winchester sails across centuries of literature art and music that in some sense celebrate the ocean. The "soldier" phase involves warfare on and around the Atlantic from the Vikings to the Falklands. The "justice" section examines maritime laws of various sorts from fishing to trade to communication. The concluding chapters deal with the depletion of the ocean and the author projects a tone of both warning and hope. Throughout Winchester sprinkles passages of personal history none more powerful than the epilogue about Namibia's Skeleton Coast "a place so named because of all the skeletons of both men and the vessels in which they had wrecked." A lifetime of thought travel reading imagination and memory inform this affecting account. Harper hardcover
