A Penguin ClassicIn the two years after the 1939 publication of Steinbeck?s masterful The Grapes of Wrath, Steinbeck and his novel increasingly became the center of intense controversy and censorship. In search of a respite from the national stage, Steinbeck and his close friend, biologist Ed Ricketts, embarked on a month long marine specimencollecting expedition in the Gulf of California, which resulted in their collaboration on the Sea of Cortez. In 1951, after Ricketts? death, Steinbeck reissued his narrative portion of the work in memory of his friend and the inspiration for Cannery Row?s ?Doc?. This exciting daybyday account of their journey together is a rare blend of science, philosophy, and highspirited adventure.
