Synopsis
The open ocean--that vast expanse of international waters--spreads across three-fourths of the globe. It is a place of storms and danger, both natural and manmade. And at a time when every last patch of land is claimed by one government or another, it is a place that remains radically free. With typically understated lyricism, William Langewiesche explores this ocean world and the enterprises--licit and illicit--that flourish in the privacy afforded by its horizons. But its efficiencies are accompanied by global problems--shipwrecks and pollution, the hard lives and deaths of the crews of the gargantuan ships, and the growth of two pathogens: a modern and sophisticated strain of piracy and its close cousin, the maritime form of the new stateless terrorism. This is the outlaw sea that Langewiesche brings startlingly into view. The ocean is our world, he reminds us, and it is wild.

- i***i (84)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseBook was well priced. But the quality of the book is very low and makes me think this is a counterfeit at worst or a cheap print-on demand copy at best. The ink is so cheap that some words are faded. The pages are very light and flimsy. The exterior is similarly flimsy and worst of all, the back of the book has a giant sticker that’s difficult to peel off. This book doesn’t look new as advertised unless this counts as new from wherever it was awfully printed.
