The Ocean Almanac

Summary: For all Lovers of the Oceans
Review: This is probably the most read book in my personnal library. If you love the ocean you will find this book very informative, containing information on just about everything from weather, to pirates, to who was the first to discover the "new world" (yes this is a disputed topic, think about it why do we live in "America" not "Columbia" and what about those wily Vikings what role did they play?). I often refer to it when I hear something referenced on "Discovery Channel" or "History Channel". Although some sections are little out dated today, it was only published 18 years ago! Most of the information is still relevant today. Not only is it full of information it is well written and easy to read. Picking this book up is not like grabbing an encyclopedia and finding a new subject, it was actually written to be read for pleasure not just information. Like i have already said if you love the ocean you should purchase this book imediately. (my apologies for any spelling errors above, but orthography is not my strong suit)
