But questions can be like ocean currents: wade in too far, and they carry you away. His accidental odyssey pulls him into the secretive world of shipping conglomerates, the daring work of Arctic researchers, the lunatic risks of maverick sailors, and the shadowy world of Chinese toy factories. This work is a journey into the heart of the sea and an adventure through science, myth, the global economy, and some of the worst weather imaginable. With each new discovery, he learns of another loose thread, and with each successive chase, he comes closer to understanding where his castaway quarry comes from and where it goes. 600 10 $a Hohn, Donovan $v Anecdotes. 650 0 $a Ocean currents. 650 0 $a Marine debris. 650 0 $a Plastic toys. 650 4 $a Books on compact disc, Unabridged. 700 1 $a Welch, Christopher Evan. $4 nrt 710 2 $a Recorded Books, LLC. 941 $a 7 945 $a cdab 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20200204042852.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110025039.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006060554.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20170418082702.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20160202052626.0 952 $l UKPD911 $d 20151120020822.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20110617011549.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=AF8D7A08709311E097B8569D6AFF544EInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
