245 10 Moby-duck :|bthe true story of 28,800 bath toys lost at

       environmentalists, and fools-- including the author-- who 
       went in search of them /|cDonovan Hohn

520    When the author heard of the mysterious loss of thousands 
       of bath toys at sea, he figured he would interview a few 
       oceanographers, talk to a few beachcombers, and read up on
       Arctic science and geography. But questions can be like 
       ocean currents: wade in too far, and they carry you away. 
       His accidental odyssey pulls him into the secretive world 
       of shipping conglomerates, the daring work of Arctic 
       researchers, the lunatic risks of maverick sailors, and 
       the shadowy world of Chinese toy factories. This work is a
       journey into the heart of the sea and an adventure through
       science, myth, the global economy, and some of the worst 
       weather imaginable. With each new discovery, he learns of 
       another loose thread, and with each successive chase, he 
       comes closer to understanding where his castaway quarry 
       comes from and where it goes
