The Northwest Passage: Atlantic To Pacific: A Portrait And Guide (Bradt Travel Guides)
In a journey that took 13 months, the Ocean Watch circumnavigated the Americas, documenting the beauty that exists, the peoples who rely on our oceans, and the changes that are happening all too fast. This book can be read any number of ways:
. . . as an exciting seafaring adventure, with storms on the high seas, polar bears, and daring escapes from icy danger.
. . . as a beautifully photographed appreciation of the beauty of the Americas?our wildlife, our coastal cities, and our proud, tenacious natives.
. . . as a global warning, documenting the dangers of climate change and the ways our world is changing forever.
