The Log from the Sea of Cortez by John Steinbeck is a notable work published by Bantam Books in October 1971. This Bantam edition, printed in New York, offers readers the narrative portion of the original 1941 expedition to the Gulf of California, co-authored with marine biologist E.F. Ricketts. Steinbeck, a Nobel Prize-winning author, provides an insightful account of the journey, blending science and philosophy. This edition includes a profile "About Ed Ricketts," enhancing its appeal to those interested in marine biology and literary history. The book is a softcover edition, making it a portable choice for readers. This copy, not a first edition, remains a valuable addition to any Steinbeck collection.
