Sobre este artículo
New York: Oxford University Press. Near Fine. 1971/1974. Hardcover. First printings 1971/1974. Both volumes bound in mustard colored cloth with 1/4 navy spine. Bright, tight, clean impressions, corners modestly bumped. Both volumes profusely illustrated. Pages: xviii, 712, and xvii, 758. Indexed. "In this mellow book Morison blends pungent insight as a historian and extraordinary knowledge as a navigator, familiarity with the ancient sagas and graphic understanding of the dangers which the mariners encountered. He threads his way through the myths and national rivalries with a strong hand and salty wit....His scholarship is never forbidding, for throughout the narrative he is speaking as a twentieth-century admiral of the ocean sea, urbane, good humored, experienced, and acute in his reading of human nature. The notes are spicy and persuasive, the maps and illustrations profuse."--The Atlantic; Ex-Library; 8vo .
