Publisher Notes
In 1940, Steinbeck and the biologist Edward F. Ricketts ventured aboard the Western Flyer, a sardine boat out of Monterey, California, on a 4,000-mile voyage around the Baja peninsula into the Sea of Cortez. This exciting, day-by-day account of their expedition wonderfully combines science, philosophy, and high-spirited adventure, and provides a much fuller picture of Steinbeck--and his beliefs about man and the world than any of his fictional works.
Media Reviews
"There is a more of the whole man, John Steinbeck, in "Sea of Cortez" than any of his novels...This is a once the record of a serious biological expedition and the impact of a biologist and a novelist upon each other's minds...The best of Steinbeck is in it."
First Line
How does one organize an expedition: what equipment is taken, what sources read; what are the little dangers and the large ones?
