Publisher's Notes
First Line: "How does one organize an expedition: what equipment is taken, what sources read; what are the little dangers and the large ones?"
Industry Reviews
"There is a more of the whole man, John Steinbeck, in "Sea of Cortez" than any of his novels...This is a once the record of a serious biological expedition and the impact of a biologist and a novelist upon each other's minds...The best of Steinbeck is in it."
New York Times Book Review - Lewis Gannett
