Atlantic

One hundred and ninety million years ago, the shifting of two tectonic plates led to the creation of an immense chasm, a gulf that slowly evolved into the most important and most travelled ocean in our world: the ATLANTIC. In this utterly original biography, best-selling author Simon Winchester explores the life of the ATLANTIC, from its birth, to the first ocean-side settlements, through the age of exploration, and the building of some of the world's most beautiful port cities. Completely unique and highly readable, ATLANTIC takes its reader on a wonderful journey through time.
