The Outlaw Ocean: Journeys Across the Last Untamed Frontier
Year: 2019 Language: english Author: Ian Urbina Genre: Textbook Publisher: Vintage ebook Edition: First ISBN: B07LDT75YD Format: EPUB Quality: eBook Pages count: 513 Description: • A riveting, adrenaline-fueled tour of a vast, lawless, and rampantly criminal world that few have ever seen: the high seas. There are few remaining frontiers on our planet. But perhaps the wildest, and least understood, are the world's oceans: too big to police, and under no clear international authority, these immense regions of treacherous water play host to rampant criminality and exploitation. Traffickers and smugglers, pirates and mercenaries, wreck thieves and repo men, vigilante conservationists and elusive poachers, seabound abortion providers, clandestine oil-dumpers, shackled slaves and cast-adrift stowaways—drawing on five years of perilous and intrepid reporting, often hundreds of miles from shore, Ian Urbina introduces us to the inhabitants of this hidden world. Through their stories of astonishing courage and brutality, survival and tragedy, he uncovers a globe-spanning network of crime and exploitation that emanates from the fishing, oil, and shipping industries, and on which the world's economies rely. Both a gripping adventure story and a stunning exposé, this unique work of reportage brings fully into view for the first time the disturbing reality of a floating world that connects us all, a place where anyone can do anything because no one is watching. Additional info: About the Author IAN URBINA is an investigative reporter for The New York Times. He won a Pulitzer Prize for Breaking News and won a George Polk Award for Foreign Reporting. Several of his stories have been adapted into major feature films and his reporting for a New York Times Magazine article called The Secret Life Of Passwords was nominated for an Emmy Award.
