Publisher Comments:

Today, nearly forty years after his death, Nobel Prize winner John Steinbeck remains one of Americ‛s greatest writers and cultural figures. Over the next year, his many works published as black-spine Penguin Classics for the first time and will feature eye-catching, newly commissioned art.

Synopsis:

This exciting day-by-day account of Steinbeck's trip to the Gulf of California with biologist Ed Ricketts, drawn from the longer Sea of Cortez, is a wonderful combination of science, philosophy, and high-spirited adventure.

Description:

Includes bibliographical references (p. xxv-xxvi) and index.
