Loggbok fr?n Cortez hav
(Author) John SteinbeckÅret är 1940 och John Steinbeck har tillsammans med sin vän marinbiologen Ed Ricketts givit sig ut på en forskningsresa till sjöss. Genom fartygets loggbok får vi dagligen följa resan, forskningen, och äventyren. På fartyget Western Flyer reser de till Montereybukten vid Kaliforniens kust för att samla in olika havslevande varelser. Bukten hade inte tidigare undersökts med någon större noggrannhet, och Steinbecks och Ricketts anteckningar är därför inte bara vetenskapligt intressanta, utan även humoristiska, fulla av filosofiska funderingar och äventyrliga upptåg.
