But when Elena decides to reenter the pro circuit, their new relationship will be put to the test. And when Soren's fledgling resort business beckons him to New Zealand, he decides to take Fate up on its offer and ends up encountering two women from his past who will make him question everything. The final chapter of BECKONED: slow burn, second-chance romance inspired by food, travel, and Jane Austen. Over 300 reviews with a 4.4+ average. The sixth part in a six-part series. HERE'S WHAT READERS ARE SAYING "This final chapter of Beckoned is entertaining and smart - I loved travelling with the characters, experiencing the scenery,culture, and culinary delights of each country, but I also enjoyed reading about REAL characters that actually grow and change and inspire me in my own life! And honestly, this series has been so much fun I can't wait to read the books all over again!" -Kim H., 5-star review "A brilliant conclusion, unpredictable which i love, it really pulled me in, had my brain running in different directions. Absolutely gutted it's over but hopefully it's the start of some more epic series to come." -Kendra, 5-star review "Freaking loved it! Seriously couldn't put it down! Bawled my freaking eyes out. Aviva has seriously outdone herself! It was spectacular and the ending was magnificent!" -Kim O., 5-star review "Everything I could have hoped for. A wild roller coaster of emotion ending in a 'Happily EverAfter' that left me weeping and smiling. Although I'm sad that Soren's story is over, I'm so happy for him...and for Elena! It was a surprising and satisfying conclusion to a vivid and unpredictable series. Five stars!" -Linda, 5-star review "The story BECKONED, Part 6: Adrift in New Zealand by Aviva Vaughn is an amazing book to read. It is a beautiful story that had me glued to the pages. It is my favorite book in the series. The story had my emotions going up and down the entire time I was reading. Once I started, I couldn't put it down until I had read the last page." -Laura, 5-star review "It's hard to put into words how I feel right now, I have been waiting for this book and this ending for what feels like years! I have felt so invested in these characters since I started this series and I've loved every second of reading their story unfold. Their story had me feeling all sorts of emotions, from happiness, confusion, hurt, empathy,sadness and finally joy, so much joy! I would absolutely recommend this series to anyone looking for their next romance read, this is a series you won't want to miss!" -Kaitlynn, 5-star review "Adrift in New Zealand is the sixth book in this brilliant series. I cannot believe that this book is it. The conclusion. Although I was looking forward to seeing how it all ended I am also sad to know this is the last time I will read about the characters - until the re-reads anyway. This author has done a wonderful job at creating a lasting series and I cannot recommend more that you give them a go." -Kerry, 4-star review "This book...this series...this author. A must read - every single freaking time. I cannot say enough good things about my love of everything Vaughn writes. Real, raw, emotional, and relatable, this series has taken her readers on quite the emotional journey. This latest installment further solidified my esteem for the author and these characters.One thousand percent recommended!!" -Heather, 5-star review This is a series that will forever linger in my memory. Aviva captured so many emotional moments that had me laughing, crying almost sobbing and then so much happiness. I loved Angela with her fiery spirit and love of life and food and I loved Soren because of how he hungered after her but his possessive and jealous streak had me thinking that things would not work out for them. I felt disappointed at the end of book4 because I had hoped it would end differently and I didn’t know if I wanted to continue on with book 5 but then Aviva brought out that other side of Soren so masterfully and it made me understand and accept book 4. I have been reading for over 50 years and this series along with one other brought every emotion I had to the table. Romance readers will swoon over this series. If I could give it more than 5 stars I would. Great job, Aviva. -Ophelia, 5-star review FROM THE AUTHOR Dearest Reader, I wrote BECKONED for many reasons, but first and foremost, I wrote it to feature the kind of people I know: diverse, smart, complicated men and women. My heroines are strong and educated, and my heroes are polite and respectful. As an avid reader, I wanted to see characters that looked like me and my friends and reflect the world I want to see. I also wanted to write a beautiful book. I consider BECKONED to be a modern story told in an old-fashion way with lots of metaphors and beautiful phrases, and where the sex is explicit but also elegant. So if you are a Word Nerd like me, then you will love BECKONED! If you choose to embark on this journey with me, you--and your taste buds--will get to visit London, Barcelona, Bath, Los Angeles, Honolulu, Costa Rica, New Zealand, and Copenhagen. It will be a fun--and delicious--ride! There are even recipes in some of the books as well as soundtracks to give you a multi-sensory experience. BECKONED is a single story in six parts and should be read in order. The intimacy is steamy, but it is slooooooow burn and is distributed throughout the books because of how the couples' relationships change and deepen. Birthing BECKONED has truly been a labor of love, and I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it! BUCKLE UP and enjoy the journey. Wishing you love and romance, ~Aviva

How do you heal a broken heart? Money is no comfort to real estate heir Soren Lund when he loses the woman he loves, so he flees his privileged life in London for a sleepy Costa Rican fishing village. There he finds peace, purpose, and the passion to follow his dreams, until a surfing accident threatens to end it all. Rescued from Death's door by the beautiful and mysterious Elena Sol, Soren lets her into his heart while trying to break down the walls around hers. And when a ghost from Elena's past threatens their new happiness, he knows he must fight, or risk finding himself alone and adrift once more. BECKONED: slow burn, second chance romance inspired by food, travel, and Jane Austen. Over 300 reviews with 4.4+star average! Part 5 in a complete 6-part series. "Good heavens, Ms. Aviva Vaughn has done it again! I believe this has to be my favorite out of the whole series. I was distraught at the end of Book 4. Overall, Irate this book 5 out of 5 stars! As always, Aviva Vaughn's story is filled with colorful characters, a little Jane Austen inspiration, good food and wonderful music!" ~Amanda H., California, USA, 5-star review "These quotes are just some of the reasons why I've utterly come to love Aviva, her unpredictability,descriptions and words are utterly brilliantly used and described to the best they can be. Personally, I do love an Author who plants the seeds of the images they want you as a reader to imagine and continue to feed it and watch it grow.Not many authors can continue to pull it off with each book either, and she is definitely one of them. ·"Her hair was just as lustrous as always, rendered more raven bythe darkness of the room" ·"As if a perfect, Windsor knot assured one of some measure ofsuccess" ·"He laughed as he skimmed the surface of the water, exhilaratedby the swift weightlessness of the movement." ~Kiera, 5-star review "In no time I was completely engrossed in the tale of Soren's next chapter in life. Although most of the characters are different, this story was much like the others, taking you on a geographical, cultural and gastronomic adventure, with a side of steamy sex, this time in a surf town in Costa Rica." ~Kim, 5-star review "I have loved this series so much, devouring every word and I was so conflicted seeing Angela and Kieran together and loving how great they were together, but feeling so bad for Soren at the same time. I wasn't really sure how Ms. Vaughn was going to approach this story, what direction she'd take- so my mind was reeling with the possibilities. I did have high expectations,because Soren really needed something good to happen to him to make up for so much heartache. I loved what Ms. Vaughn did with this story and it was every bit as good as I had hoped it would be. Even though I knew Ms. Vaughn wouldn't make it easy for Soren and would make him 'work for his happiness. I also love how much more of Soren we get to see. Even after 4 other books, there was still quite substantial character growth and development."~Angela, 5-star review "Aviva Vaughn writes a lot like the classics, Jane Austen especially. She loves her slow burn and realistic writing. I personally do as well. It is believable and gripping. I often feel as if I am sitting right there in the same room as the characters, or on the beaches of Costa Rica. I can taste the foods, and smell the saltwater on the air. Her story lines are just as realistic and this is ever present in the story of Soren." ~Liz, USA, 5-star review "It hooked me in from the very beginning and I didn't want to put it down until I had read the final page. I love how no matter what the scene is the author is so descriptive that you feel like you are right there with the characters. This is a wonderfully written story that I would highly recommend reading." ~Laura, USA, 5-star review "I have been so looking forward to reading the next instalment in this series. I have truly fallen in love with the characters in the story and the author. Her writing completely absorbs me into the amazing world that she had created. Her beautiful descriptions of the settings for the stories are a huge plus for these books - her attention to detail is amazing. I've tried not to have a favourite book in this series because I have loved them all so far but I think this one may just take the top spot. I absolutely loved it and I really cannot recommend the book and the series enough!" ~Katie, 5-star review FROM THE AUTHOR Dearest Reader, I wrote BECKONED for many reasons, but first and foremost, I wrote it to feature the kind of people I know: diverse, smart, complicated men and women.

Can fire and ice both survive? Fire and ice have nothing on Angela Holguín and fellow MBA student Soren Lund. When they first met at school in the exciting seaside city of Barcelona, Angela was intrigued by the aloof Dane; he was enthralled by the vivacious Californian. But their timing was off and they went their separate ways - until Fate and Destiny put them back in the same city: London. In the British capital, Angela and Soren not only reunite, their desire reignites. This time they are determined not to let love slip through their fingers. They tumble into each other's arms and embark upon a passionate journey that takes them from the chic, bustling streets of London to the romantic, historic byways of Bath and back again. It is there, at their final destination, that Angela and Soren must face reality. While opposites attract, they might not be able to coexist. In the next three days, they will have to decide if what they have is truly love or simply the beckoning of desire. BECKONED: slow burn, second-chance romance inspired by food, travel, and Jane Austen. Over 300 reviews with 4.4+star average! Part 2 of a complete, 6-part series. "Aviva Vaughn's debut will sweep you off your feet. BECKONED is a vibrant, sensual story about longing and second chances. Get ready to fall in love." -Mia Hopkins, Award-Winning Author of Thirsty; voted one of the five best romances of 2018 by the Washington Post. "After reading book one I was excited to read this book and I can say I was definitely not disappointed. The writing style made me feel like I was experiencing those emotions with them. The more I read the more I found myself hoping that they could find a way to make things work, the more invested I became. The whole story was engaging and well written. A brilliant follow up to book one. I cannot wait to read the next book in this amazing series." ~Kerry, 5-star review "So I am slightly infatuated with the writing style of Aviva Vaughn. She was new to me when I first read Part 1 of this series, but I connected with her writing style right away, and this book doesn't come up short in the slightest. Aviva Vaughn writes in a fan-fiction sense of Jane Austen. HOW COULD ONE NOT LOVE IT!?!?! This alone had me hooked, leading to intense and complicated characters with realistic situations and personalities." ~Liz, 5-star review "Aviva Vaughn continues to enthrall me with her writing in this series. The scenic details and flowing storyline, hooks you from the beginning and will make you want more at the end. Luckily, there is book 3. I can't wait to continue reading the series and see if there is a HEA for Angela." ~Lisette, 5-star review "Wow. Aviva Vaughn has done it again! "Beckoned, Part 2: From Bath With Love" gives the reader a beautiful image of bustling London life contrasted wonderfully with the lazy pace of Bath. As a lover of Jane Austen books, this series has been such a treat with Angela's love of travel, books and all things Austen! FIVE STARS!!!" ~Emily, 5-star review "This series has absolutely captured me, personally I love a good cliffhanger and this book contains a brilliant one, I have fallen head over heels for each character and their personalities, so after reading book 1 I could not wait to be sucked in to this book as it continues with the story of passion,love, and travel some of my favourite story baselines. I will definitely be following and looking out for other books/series from this author as her writing and descriptions are beautifully written." ~Claire, 5-star review "Beckoned, Part 2: From Bath with Love by Aviva Vaughn was as good as the first book. I couldn't put it down and read it immediately after the first book. I love how the author makes you feel like you are a part of the story. I can't wait to read book 3 and would read anything this author writes! I love the characters and the writing. I give this book 5 stars." ~Amanda, 5-star review "After finished and loving part 1 in this series I could not wait to start the second book and I was not disappointed at all! As this starts where book 1 finished it should definitely be read after it. I cannot wait to read part 3 especially after being left on a cliff-hanger with this book!!" ~Katie, 5-star review "Another great book written by Aviva Vaughn, that you will not be able to put down. Including me, that I read it in one sitting. Ms. Vaughn's writing flows and is so descriptive. She makes you feel like you are there with her characters. She takes you on an emotional roller coaster ride that has many twists and turns. I cannot wait to read Part 3 in the Beckoned Series, I know it will be just as good." ~Dori, 5-star review "Angela and Soren's story continues in this second part of the series. I really enjoy Aviva Vaughn's writing style. It is conversational and easy. The plot flows effortlessly. The characters are real and flawed. I felt like I was walking the streets of Bath with them. Continue to love this series and looking forward to book 3!" ~Heather, 5-star review "This is a series that I am so happy I started reading. I found myself lost in its pages and not wanting to put it down until I had finished. I can't wait to read the next book in the series." ~Laura, 5-star review -------------------------- Dearest Reader, I wrote BECKONED for many reasons, but first and foremost, I wrote it to feature the kind of people I know: diverse, smart, complicated men and women.

It was never going to be easy. Fire and ice have nothing on Angela Holguín and Soren Lund who first met as MBA students in exciting Barcelona.

And now that Angela has a handsome new business partner, the stakes are even higher. Things come to a head when Angela and her partner travel to Barcelona for business and it is there where she will have to decide between the opposing forces that beckon. Will Soren's offer of life in London pull her to Europe, or will her business-and the siren song of the sea-keep her rooted to Los Angeles? BECKONED: slow burn, second-chance romance inspired by food, travel, and Jane Austen. Over 300 reviews with 4.4+ average. Part 4 in a 6-part series. "Let me just say,this series has been my absolute favorite series I have read in 2018 so far. Aviva Vaughn set out to write a slow burn and vivid story, and she nailed it on the head! With inspiration from Jane Austen, she has reimagined the writing style of her in a way you will fall in love with from the get go. I fell in love with the places I have never been, and feel as if I have tasted the food.This would be a series I would love to see in a film or even a mini series on tv would be amazing." -Liz, 5-star review "I am saying now that this is probably one of the best series that I have read so far this year! I cannot wait for more!!Again the authors writing is just superb, the detail, the descriptions, they are just beautiful and I still feel like I am right there along with thesecharacters." -Katie, 5-star review "This lady has completely captured me with this series, at first I was intrigued to see how an American author would write about the UK and she definitely did it justice, and I fell in Love with a brilliant read and found a absolutely amazing author that has become one of my top ten. This is definitely a series you want to read." -Claire, 5-star review "Every now and then you're faced with a book that makes you think of how little sleep you actually need to function the next morning, for me part four of the Beckoned series is that book. I haven't been quiet about how much I love Angela's story up until this point and just when I think Aviva Vaughn has reached max potential the next book in the series blows me away even more." -Felicia., 5-star review "The wholestory/series has been fascinating and captivating- with Ms. Vaughn upping the ante with each instalment, each book slightly eclipsing the last. I was enthralled through each and every book in a way I never expected to be going into this series." -Angela, 5-star review "All I can say is that I loved how everything came together in the end even though I did not expect this at all. Be prepared for some emotional scenes that may draw out the ugly cry. Aviva has definitely stepped it up in this part of the series. I highly recommend this great series." -Michelle, 5-star review "Somehow, I love each new book more than the last! This story is romantic, charming, touching and heart wrenching. I completely devoured this book in one sitting, I just love these characters so much. Each time I start a book by Aviva I have to prepare myself for the emotional story I know will take place." -Kaitlyn, 5-star review "Wow. What an amazing conclusion to Angela's story! There are hardly words to describe how beautifully Aviva Vaughn describes every bit of scenery, life and the people in these books. She weaves a heart-clenching ending to a wonderful story! Do yourself a favor and read the entire series! This book lends a certain theme that really stuck with me, and while I won't say what that is, I found it to be just what Angela needed in her life to be truly happy as well as something I really needed to read. This book is so much more than a romance book; it really teaches you about doing what makes you happy and love your life. Angela is truly a character I feel many women could look up to and respect. Many thanks to Aviva Vaughn for sharing this story with the world! LOVED IT! FIVE STARS!!" -Emily, 5-star review "I find it so hard to write a review about this series because I just want to shout out about everything that happens. Yet at the same time I don't because everyone needs to experience it for themselves to get the full effect of these stories.There has never been a point during all these books that I could honestly say I knew what was going to happen. This series will grip you and take you on such a journey that you will not be able to atop reading until, like me, you have devoured them all. I cannot recommend this series highly enough." -Kerry, 5-star review FROM THE AUTHOR Dearest Reader, I wrote BECKONED for many reasons, but first and foremost, I wrote it to feature the kind of people I know: diverse, smart, complicated men and women.

And then there were three... Fire and ice have nothing on Angela Holguín and Soren Lund who first met as MBA students in exciting Barcelona. But their timing was off, until Destiny put them back in the same city: London; and their passion ignited. But will their fledgling romance stand a chance against the forces of Time and Space with Soren in Barcelona and Angela in Los Angeles? And a new threat also looms on the horizon: a mysterious and handsome entrepreneur interested in Angela's new business ...or is he? Angela beckons Soren to spend the holidays with her in Los Angeles, but when he makes her a beguiling offer, their relationship will be put to the test. BECKONED: slow burn, second chance romance inspired by food, travel, and Jane Austen. Over 300 reviews with 4.4+star average! Part 3 of a complete 6-part series. "It has been so long since I have read a series that has kept my interest like this one! I literally couldn't wait to jump into part 3 of this series and again as with the first two books I wasn't disappointed! I just can't help but be swept up in the relationship between Angela and Soren! I really am drawn to them. Again the author did a fabulous job with the writing in this book and I really do love her writing style - I honestly feel like I am on the journey with these characters through the author's fabulous descriptive writing! I am so excited to read part 4!" -Katie, 5-star review "Aviva Vaughn just keeps bringing it. Another book in the Beckoned series that I could not put down. The way Ms. Vaughn writes, always is so descriptive and makes you feel like you are right there with the characters. She keeps you on your toes with all the twists and turns. You keep reading because you want to see what is going to happen next. I cannot wait to read Part 4 in the series." -Dori from Florida, 5-star review "Something I've always admired about books is that when you find a well written series each book may even be better than the last, unlike motion pictures where the second rarely adds up. This is just one of the many reasons I've always favored a good book over a movie. My point is that I feel this way about Aviva Vaughn's Beckoned series. I was completely drawn into Angela and Soren's story in book one, book two blew my mind and yet somehow even after following their story a third time, I NEED to know more." -Felicia, 5-star review "This lady has completely captured me with this series, at first I was intrigued to see how a American author would write about the UK and she definitely did it justice. I really feel that Aviva characters really pull you into the story and plays wonders with your imagination not many authors can really do that for me I've only got a hand full I will read hundreds of times over and over and she has definitely gone on that list for myself." -Claire,5-star review "The whole story/series has been fascinating and captivating- but this book takes it to a whole new level. Ms. Vaughn has upped the ante, so to speak, and produced a story that I devoured in matter of hours. I couldn't put it down and HAD to find out what was happening. The books just seem to get better and better.... And the love triangle of sorts/the 'threat,' and the emotional rollercoaster that this story took me on had me sooooo conflicted. I am now really anxious about the next book, and to find out how the story will end.Thank you, Ms. Vaughn!" -Angela, 5-star review "Woah part three! This series just keeps getting better! I read this one in just a few hours because I could not stop reading it! After finding out this is the author's favorite book of the series, I was so excited to read this and Aviva Vaughn did NOT disappoint! This book gave me a new appreciation for California and seeing it through the eyes of someone who truly loves it is wonderful.Every time Aviva Vaughn describes a new location, I can picture it in such vivid detail. She really has a way with words! Bring on Part 4!!" -Emily, 5-star review "I'm not even sure I'm even capable to begin to describe how much i enjoy this book ( and series ). Wow, it's such a roller ride! So much attention to details, scenic scenes and characters ! I can picture it all in my head and hear their voices. Phenomenal story plot, with drama, suspense, intrigue ... oh and sooo much love!! We can't all forgot that! The characters are relatable and entertaining! Such an amazing story, once you read one, you'll want to read the others ASAP!!" -Nicole, 4-star review "This series just gets better and better with each book..." -Lisette, 5-star review FROM THE AUTHOR Dearest Reader, I wrote BECKONED for many reasons, but first and foremost, I wrote it to feature the kind of people I know: diverse, smart, complicated men and women.

Elizabeth DeLoughrey invokes the cyclical model of the continual movement and rhythm of the ocean (‘tidalectics’) to destabilize the national, ethnic, and even regional frameworks that have been the mainstays of literary study. The result is a privileging of alter/native epistemologies whereby island cultures are positioned where they should have been all along—at the forefront of the world historical process of transoceanic migration and landfall. The research, determination, and intellectual dexterity that infuse this nuanced and meticulous reading of Pacific and Caribbean literature invigorate and deepen our interest in and appreciation of island literature. —Vilsoni Hereniko, University of Hawai‘i "Elizabeth DeLoughrey brings contemporary hybridity, diaspora, and globalization theory to bear on ideas of indigeneity to show the complexities of ‘native’ identities and rights and their grounded opposition as ‘indigenous regionalism’ to free-floating globalized cosmopolitanism. Her models are instructive for all postcolonial readers in an age of transnational migrations." —Paul Sharrad, University of Wollongong, Australia Routes and Roots is the first comparative study of Caribbean and Pacific Island literatures and the first work to bring indigenous and diaspora literary studies together in a sustained dialogue. Taking the "tidalectic" between land and sea as a dynamic starting point, Elizabeth DeLoughrey foregrounds geography and history in her exploration of how island writers inscribe the complex relation between routes and roots. The first section looks at the sea as history in literatures of the Atlantic middle passage and Pacific Island voyaging, theorizing the transoceanic imaginary. The second section turns to the land to examine indigenous epistemologies in nation-building literatures. Both sections are particularly attentive to the ways in which the metaphors of routes and roots are gendered, exploring how masculine travelers are naturalized through their voyages across feminized lands and seas. This methodology of charting transoceanic migration and landfall helps elucidate how theories and people travel, positioning island cultures in the world historical process. In fact, DeLoughrey demonstrates how these tropical island cultures helped constitute the very metropoles that deemed them peripheral to modernity. Fresh in its ideas, original in its approach, Routes and Roots engages broadly with history, anthropology, and feminist, postcolonial, Caribbean, and Pacific literary and cultural studies. It productively traverses diaspora and indigenous studies in a way that will facilitate broader discussion between these often segregated disciplines.

The emblem book was invented by the humanist lawyer Andrea Alciato in 1531. The preponderance of juridical and normative themes, of images of rule and infraction, of obedience and error in the emblem books is critical to their purpose and interest. This book outlines the history of the emblem tradition as a juridical genre, along with the concept of, and training in, obiter depicta, in things seen along the way to judgment. It argues that these books depict norms and abuses in classically derived forms that become the visual standards of governance. Despite the plethora of vivid figures and virtual symbols that define and transmit law, contemporary lawyers are not trained in the critical apprehension of the visible. This book is the first to reconstruct the history of the emblem tradition, evidencing the extent to which a gallery of images of law already exists and structuring how the public realm is displayed, made present and viewed.

Until the catastrophic economic crisis of the late 1990s, East Asia was perceived as a monolithic success story. But heady economic growth rates masked the most divided continent in the world - one half the most extraordinary developmental success story ever seen, the other half a paper tiger. Joe Studwell explores how policies ridiculed by economists created titans in Japan, Korea and Taiwan, and are now behind the rise of China, while the best advice the West could offer sold its allies in South-East Asia down the economic river. The first book to offer an Asia-wide deconstruction of success and failure in economic development, Studwell's latest work is provocative and iconoclastic - and sobering reading for most of the world's developing countries. How Asia Works is a must-read book that packs powerful insights about the world's most misunderstood continent.

“The Southern Ocean is a wild and elusive place, an ocean like no other. With its waters lying between the Antarctic continent and the southern coastlines of Australia, New Zealand, South America, and South Africa, it is the most remote and inaccessible part of the planetary ocean, the only part that flows around Earth unimpeded by any landmass. It is notorious amongst sailors for its tempestuous winds and hazardous fog and ice. Yet it is a difficult ocean to pin down. Its southern boundary, defined by the icy continent of Antarctica, is constantly moving in a seasonal dance of freeze and thaw. To the north, its waters meet and mingle with those of the Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific Oceans along a fluid boundary that defies the neat lines of a cartographer.” So begins Joy McCann’s Wild Sea, the remarkable story of the world’s remote Southern, or Antarctic, Ocean. Unlike the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, and Arctic Oceans with their long maritime histories, little is known about the Southern Ocean. This book takes readers beyond the familiar heroic narratives of polar exploration to explore the nature of this stormy circumpolar ocean and its place in Western and Indigenous histories. Drawing from a vast archive of charts and maps, sea captains’ journals, whalers’ log books, missionaries’ correspondence, voyagers’ letters, scientific reports, stories, myths, and her own experiences, McCann embarks on a voyage of discovery across its surfaces and into its depths, revealing its distinctive physical and biological processes as well as the people, species, events, and ideas that have shaped our perceptions of it. The result is both a global story of changing scientific knowledge about oceans and their vulnerability to human actions and a local one, showing how the Southern Ocean has defined and sustained southern environments and people over time. Beautifully and powerfully written, Wild Sea will raise a broader awareness and appreciation of the natural and cultural history of this little-known ocean and its emerging importance as a barometer of planetary climate change.
