      abstract = {Until a thousand years ago, no humans ventured into the  Atlantic or imagined traversing its vastness. But once the  first daring mariners successfully navigated to far shores,  whether it was the Vikings, the Irish, the Chinese,  Christopher Columbus in the north, or the Portuguese and  the Spanish in the south, the Atlantic evolved in the  world's growing consciousness of itself as an enclosed body  of water bounded by the Americas to the West, and by Europe  and Africa to the East. This book is a biography of this  immense space, of a sea which has defined and determined so  much about the lives of the millions who live beside or  near its tens of thousands of miles of coast. The Atlantic  has been central to the ambitions of explorers, scientists  and warriors, and it continues to affect our character,  attitudes, and dreams. The author chronicles that  relationship, making the Atlantic come vividly alive.--From  publisher description.},
