Sinopsis

Between the spring of 1947 and the summer of 2000, more than 40 expeditions sought to drift across the oceans of the world on rafts made from straw, from bamboo, and from the same kinds of wood that children use to make model airplanes. These audacious raft voyages began with the legendary Kon-Tiki expedition, under the leadership of the renowned Norwegian explorer Thor Heyerdahl. The Kon-Tiki wood raft drifted more than 4000 miles from Peru to Polynesia, and remained afloat months after experts predicted it would sink in the Pacific. This work documents all of the transoceanic raft expeditions that were organized and carried out in the half-century after Kon-Tiki.. NOTA: El libro no está en español, sino en inglés.
