Moby-Duck: The True Story of 28,800 Bath Toys Lost at Sea. . .
Donovan Hohn

When Donovan Hohn heard of the mysterious loss of thousands of bath toys at sea, he figured he would interview a few oceanographers, talk to a few beachcombers, and read up on Arctic science and geography.

Hohn's book, Moby-Duck (Viking), is a journey through science, myth, the global economy — and some of the worst weather imaginable. (Powell's)
