Here is an encyclopedia of maritime history that, in scope and
depth, rivals the expansiveness of the sea itself. The Encyclopedia
covers the entire history of seafaring, from ancient Egyptian
shipbuilders to Viking sea-raiders, from Nelson and the Napoleonic
Wars to the voyages of Cheng Ho, from the European conquerors of
the New World to the nuclear submarines and supertankers of today.
Placing maritime affairs in their larger historical context, the
Encyclopedia shows how seafaring has both reflected and influenced
the major economic, cultural, military, and political developments
in world history.
In four volumes and nearly 1,000 signed articles by an
international group of historians and naval officers, the
Encyclopedia offers a uniquely integrated approach, emphasizing the
connections between maritime history and many related fields,
including naval history, shipbuilding, navigation and scientific
instrumentation, maritime art and literature, commerce and
economics, exploration and maritime geography, oceanography and
hydrology, and international maritime law. In so doing, the
Encyclopedia provides, in a single reference work, a wealth of
information that can otherwise be found only with the help of an
extensive library.
A-Z organization, intelligible writing, plentiful illustrations,
cross-references, bibliographies, a synoptic outline, and topical
index all make The Oxford Encyclopedia of Maritime History an
inviting, easy-to-use reference for researchers and enthusiasts
alike.
