Bill Purves trained as a seaman, earned his seaman's papers and made several voyages on a variety of Asian-owned and operated freighters to research this unique inside look at the worldwide shipping industry and the people behind it. From Taiwan to Estonia, and Egypt to Myanmar, amid the roar of engines and the trading floor, in A Sea of Green you will meet the shipowners and brokers, captains and ordinary seamen that make this important part of the global economy work. With his trademark combination of anecdote and educational detail, Bill Purves, author of China on the Lam, has once again made an adventure out of the seemingly ordinary and made enlightenment entertaining.
