<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>With typically understated lyricism, Langewiesche explores the ocean world and the enterprises--licit and illicit--that flourish in the privacy afforded by its horizons.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>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. </p><p>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.</p><p>This is the outlaw sea that Langewiesche brings startlingly into view. The ocean is our world, he reminds us, and it is wild.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Astonishing . . . Langeweische's narrative achieves an almost operatic grandeur . . . As [he] demonstrates time and time again in this brave, often electrifying book, [the sea] is a world that is both new and very old, and we ignore it at our own peril." --<i>Nathaniel Philbrick, The New York Times Book Review</i></p><p>"<i>The Outlaw Sea </i>is impossible to put down." --<i>People</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>William Langewiesche</b> is the author of four previous books, <i>Cutting for Sign</i>, <i>Sahara Unveiled</i>, <i>Inside the Sky</i>, and <i>American Ground</i>. He is a correspondent for <i>The Atlantic Monthly</i>, where <i>The Outlaw Sea</i> originated.
