Now in his nineties, this is his second book for Upstart Press. Chasing a Dream: the search for the imaginary Pacific (Upstart, 2016) is John Dunmore’s highly readable account of mankind’s obsession with what lay on the “other side” of the world, and how a few brave souls from different nations doggedly pursued the dream of finding fame and wealth through the discovery of the Great Southern Continent.view less
