The curved lines of a sailing ship resemble the inverted dome of a great cathedral, surrounded not by sootcovered buildings and crowded streets but by a vast liquid wilderness. This physical and symbolic connection is at the thematic heart of Cathedral of the World, a collection of essays in which writer and professional smallboat sailor Myron Arms sets out on a journey both physical and spiritual, seeking to explore what he calls 'the primal spaces' and to articulate the sailor's ageold quest to understand his world and himself. Arms, author of the Boston Globe bestseller Riddle of the Ice, weaves the experiences of four decades at sea into a series of reflections that range across half a lifetime and thousands of ocean miles. During these journeys, he takes readers to some of the last wild places on Earth, climbing the hills of the North Atlantic in a full gale, watching the flight of seabirds, listening to the nightbreath of whales, and pondering the questions that all such encounters inspire.What John Muir did for western forests, what Edward Abbey did for the desert, Arms now does for the ocean. In a voice that is reverent, impassioned, and clearsighted, he celebrates the wilderness he has come to love, mourns its wounds, and demonstrates for all of us its power to heal.
