Maritime History of Baja California

摘要

Edward Vernon's Maritime History of Baja California is a labor of love, whereby one man's fascination with the historically understudied Baja peninsula is shared with his readers. Described by the author as a photo-journal, this text walks a fine line between a coffee-table art book and historical treatise, which seeks to share the natural beauty and compelling history of the region with a wider audience. Richly illustrated with handsome maps, compelling photographs and satellite imagery, the book brings home the beauty of the rugged coastline that marks both the Sea of Cortes and the Pacific Coast of Baja California.
