About this product

Product Information

Having survived Borneo, Amazonia, and the Congo, Redmond O'Hanlon now ventures into his own perfect storm in the wildest waters he could find. His rendezvous with destiny begins aboard a trawler converted for deep-sea fishing at a cost of $3 millionwhich is why its young skipper's setting out from Scotland's northern tip when the rest of the fleet is running for safe harbor. Equipped with a fancy Nikon, an excessive supply of socks and no seamanship whatsoever, O'Hanlon joins a crew of five who stock a bottomless hull with the catch, day after sleepless day, even as the hurricane threatens to wash them overboard. While he helps inventory the creatures of the deepest North Atlanticfrom jellycats to the wormlike hagfish, unchanged since its evolution more than 500 million years agohis shipmates exchange manic monologues that range from their woeful longing for loyal women to trade laws and complex fishing quotas. Rich in oceanography, marine biology and men's lives,Trawlerreveals once again the inimitable spirit of the man Bill Bryson has called "probably the finest writer of travel books in the English language, and certainly the most daring."

"A frenzied depiction of an alien, intensely hazardous way of life,Trawleris both edifying and hugely entertaining. O'Hanlon's is a magnificently original voice: manic, scholarly, funny, sumptuously descriptive, and more than slightly deranged." --Jon Krakauer, '?This is a very readable overview for those wanting a broader appreciation of the business reality?

Update! Seller acknowledged the discrepancy in the mailing procedure and made it alright. Feel free to order books from them based on their new knowledge of how to ship hardback books with protective packaging. Thanks to the seller for being forthright in making amends. This is an honest and above board seller.

    Wrong book and wrong info

    I bought the book for my son-in-law for Christmas gift, he likes to fish in the deep ocean and thought the book would give him some idea of what fish he could catch, when I got it, it was a story and did not have time to send it back so I gave it to him and he was disappointied. The serves it was great it came two days before Christmas. The price was fine. I don't know if my son-inlaw has read it or likes it.
