Summer 2020 Issue – The 1940 Ricketts-Steinbeck Sea of Cortez Expedition

Cover of the Summer 2020 issue of the Journal of the SouthwestJohn Steinbeck on the flying bridge of the Western FlyerJSW’s summer 2020 issue is finally out!  Guest edited by Rick Brusca, Executive Director, Emeritus, of the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum, the title of this gorgeous special volume is, “The 1940 Ricketts-Steinbeck Sea of Cortez Expedition: An 80-year Retrospective.” Eight decades ago, John Steinbeck and marine biologist Ed Ricketts set sail aboard the Western Flyer from Monterey Bay, California, to explore the Sea of Cortez, leading to Steinbeck’s 1951 publication, The Log from the Sea of Cortez. As Brusca points out in his lovely introduction, “a sublime attribute of this voyage and the book it spawned was the seamless blending of art, science, and philosophy.”  The contributors to this special issue revisit, add to, and in many ways re-interpret the expedition, bringing new details to light, offering fresh interpretations, and showing us how so much of what the two explorers accomplished lives on in the ways we understand the Sea of Cortez today.  All of us at JSW are deeply grateful to Rick for so capably bringing this issue together, to each of the authors for their wonderful contributions, and to the Western Flyer Foundation, whose generous gift helped bring it all to fruition.  Cheers!
