The Last Great Sea: A Voyage Through the Human and Natural History of the North Pacific Ocean by Terry Glavin was first published in 2000. This nonfiction work offers a rich exploration of the ecological, cultural, and historical significance of the North Pacific Ocean, often called the world’s last great sea. Environmental journalist and conservationist Terry Glavin takes readers on a sweeping journey across the vast expanse of the North Pacific, from the coastal regions of British Columbia and Alaska to the shores of Russia and Japan. Blending environmental history, indigenous knowledge, marine biology, and personal narrative, the book presents a deeply immersive portrait of the ocean and its interconnected histories. Glavin’s writing is both poetic and evocative, merging scientific insight with storytelling, and his passion for the ocean is evident throughout.
