Atlantic by Simon Winchester

Simon Winchester is always a customer favourite here, and his new audiobook is proving to be no exception.  In past books, he has covered a range of topics, from the Oxford English Dictionary to the volcano Krakatoa.  His new audiobook, Atlantic, covers the Atlantic Ocean, from the Minoans to the fishing industry.  From the New York Times review:

"The author rolls through the age of exploration with typical Winchesterian prose: history infused with lively and colorful anecdotes, a spirit of bonhomie and a bit of British cheek."
