"Father and Son: A Memoir" By Jonathan Raban Knopf. 323 pp. $28 - - - It should come as no surprise that when even self-described "progressive" White men of a certain age gather in private, they often bellyache about their loss of unrivaled centrality. But all it takes is rereading a classic of travel writing to realize how bad things used to be - and not even that long ago.

Astra house. 336 pp. $29 The Underworld: Journeys to the Depths of the Ocean By Susan Casey Doubleday. 330 pp. $32 - - - Some years ago, I had the privilege of spending two months in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. The ship was 150 feet long, the place a seven-day and seven-night journey southwest of Hawaii, the depth below us 18,000 feet. You might surmise there was nothing out there - certainly no other vessels, no land, no airplanes overhead and few birds, even. Only a vast stretch of sea and sky.
