The Man Who Thought Like a Ship
by Loren Steffy
To read about Dick’s approach to his work is every bit as exciting as reading about Champollion’s decipherment of Egyptian hieroglyphs or Rawlinson’s decipherment of cuneiform. But readers need not be academics or armchair archaeologists to enjoy the book, for it is really just a very human tale. --George F. Bass (Founder, Institute of Nautical Archaeology) Detailed Description
