An assessment of how important the sea was in the development of
world history from the earliest times to the present. How important
has the sea been in the development of human history? Very
important indeed is the conclusion of this ground-breaking
four-volume work. The books bring together the world's leading
maritime historians, who address the question of what difference
the sea has made in relation to around 250 situations ranging from
the earliest times to the present. They consider, across the entire
world, subjects related to human migration, trade, economic
development, warfare, the building of political units including
states and empires, the dissemination of ideas, culture and
religion, and much more, showing how the sea was crucial to all
these aspects of human development. Specific maritime subjects
covered include shipbuilding, navigation, the exploitation of
maritime resources, the social background of sailors and maritime
communities, piracy, the financing and organisation of maritime
endeavour, and many other subjects. Overall, the books represent an
immense resource for all historians, providing concise overviews of
virtually every subject in maritime history. CHRISTIAN BUCHET is
Professor of Maritime History, Catholic University of Paris,
Scientific Director of Océanides and a member of l'Académie de
marine.
