Bücher der Reihe Seas in History

Reverses the traditional angle of maritime history and looks from the sea to its shores - its impact on the land through trade, naval power, and scientific exploration. This work states how the vast ocean, both connecting and separating nations, has shaped many countries' cultures and ideologies through the movement of goods, people, and ideas.

Explores the Pacific Ocean's place in human history, drawing together its long and varied physical, economic, cultural and political history, from Prehistory through to the present day.
