Summary:In "Journal of a voyage: Federico Craveri and the Gulf of California in 1856" by Frederico Craveri, Thomas Bowen joined forces with translators Beatrice D'Arpa and Beppe Cavatorta to produce an annotated English translation of Craveri's field notes, describing his exploratory sailboat voyage into the Gulf. Craveri was an Italian natural historian/chemist most known for the little alcid he collected in the Gulf, Synthlioboramphus craveri. Bowen has long recognized Craveri's contributions as important to his own anthropological work, and also to specialists such as seabird biologists. The volume is also an interesting and truly great "adventurous read" for any seabird researcher and/or boat operator who has experienced for themselves, the joy and adventure of being in a very remote place - vulnerable, but under-control and doing what one professionally loves most.
