Publisher's Summary:
Coursing through the Atlantic Ocean is a powerful current with a force 300 times that of the mighty Amazon. Ulanski explores the fascinating science and history of this sea highway known as the Gulf Stream, a watery wilderness that stretches from the Caribbean to the North Atlantic. Spanning both distance and time, Ulanski's investigation reveals how the Gulf Stream affects and is affected by every living thing that encounters it--from tiny planktonic organisms to giant bluefin tuna, from ancient mariners to big-game anglers. He examines the scientific discovery of ocean circulation, the role of ocean currents in the settlement of the New World, and the biological life teeming in the stream.

An incredible story of our Oceans !!
A surprisingly easy to read book on the incredible discoveries & mysteries of our oceans!!
Though falling under the heading of the serious science of Physical Oceanography, even an intelligent highschooler
could handle this text. It is chock full of fascinating knowledge gained in recent times, as well as engrossing historical info.
Previously, I had little idea of the complexity of this watery world, & how it fits into the overall ecological picture. The Oceanography I studied long ago in college was very minimal compared to all the relatively new info now available.
Initially intrigued by popular books about rogue waves, etc., I was led to explore further into this realm. "Gulf Stream" is one of several texts which came my way. This is one of the best. The author does an excellent job of reducing technical, scientific data to a readable, understandable, exciting story.
I also Highly recommend: "The Power of the Sea" by Bruce Parker

Great read Clearly explains one of the great wonders the Atlantic ocean whether captain, seaman of a land lover it's worth reading.
Fascinating.
The author presents very interesting, scientific data in a readable way. I have really enjoyed reading and learning about this part of the ocean.
Now I understand
Having actually sailed in the gulf, this informative book sheaf light on what we encountered and why. I am better prepared for planning our next crossing.
