This book covers the Atlantic Ocean, with the author using Shakespeare's speech "All the world's a stage" from As You Like It, with man's seven stages of life illustrating the ocean, the infant, the school boy, the lover, the soldier, the justice, pantaloon, and second childishness. He covers the creation of the Atlantic ocean, the exploration, the military battles, and even man's destruction towards the ocean. This was a slow read at times but very intriguing and interesting. I had read The Professor and the Madman by this author so I knew he liked a lot of details, which this book had tons of. If you enjoy non-fiction, this is a great read. Just plan on devoting a big chunk of time to it.
