About This Item
New York: Simon & Schuster, 2004. First edition. First printing [stated]. Hardcover. Very good in very good dust jacket. Minor page discoloration noted.. 260, [1] p. Illustrations. Notes. Bibliography. Index. This story of an adventure-filled voyage halfway around the world recalls the works of such writers as John McPhee, Tracy Kidder, and Paul Theroux as it takes the reader into the dangerous and almost invisible universe of modern seafaring. In the face of killer storms, fires, piracy, and terrorism, container ships the length of city blocks and more than a dozen stories high carry 90 percent of the world's trade. This is an account of one ship's voyage and the sailors who daily risk their lives.
