In his latest book, Pacific, Simon Winchester (The Professor and the Madman, The Men Who United the States, A Crack in the Edge of the World) takes us from the Bering Strait to Cape Horn, from the Yangtze River to the Panama Canal, with stops on the many small islands and archipelagos that lie in the middle of this vast expanse of water. Winchester’s research led him to live with aboriginals in northern Queensland, do jail time in Tierra del Fuego, and spend six months walking across South Korea. Experience the Pacific Ocean as you’ve never known it before.
