ABSTRACT

Two thirds of the earth is covered by oceans, and to the present day they provide us with routes to new adventures and new explorations. One is the significance of oceangenerated polyunsaturated fatty acids in human health, which led to my irresistible urge to explore the idea of “What is a normal way of life at home?” compared with “What is ‘normal’ in faraway places?” This book details that exploration; please notice how the smell of the sea drifts in and out around the dry facts of this story. The facts serve as safe harbors in which we can anchor our imagination, after each trip in this story takes us beyond our customary land. My adventure is recorded here. Please join me and then explore beyond where I could not go. Tell me what you see.
