Portrait of the Gulf Stream
In Praise of Currents
by Érik Orsenna
Orsenna describes himself as a ‘wanderer’ rather than a scientist, so he journeyed from the violent swirls off the coast of Florida to the maelstroms of Norway, from the shores of Scotland to the legendary approach to Nantucket, on land or on the sea, to meet scholars and discover the secrets of this powerful and mysterious ocean current.

The Liquid Continent - A Mediterranean Trilogy
Volume I: Alexandria
by Nicholas Woodsworth

The Liquid Continent - A Mediterranean Trilogy
Volume II: Venice
by Nicholas Woodsworth
On his circumnavigation of the Liquid Continent Nicholas Woodsworth is interrupted by his wife. ‘I’d love to see Venice in the spring,’ she said. ‘We could meet there and then you could carry on to Istanbul when I go back to teaching. You wouldn’t miss an inch of the coast - you’d just be doing part of it the other way round.’ Compelling argument combined with irresistible temptation propels him to the Lagoon.
