Throughout history, how has the sea served as a site for
cross-cultural exchange, trade and migration? As historians, how do
the fields of naval history, maritime history and oceanic history
intersect? 56 experts, 48 chapters and over 1,700 pages explore how
representation and understanding of the sea has developed over
2,500 years of cultural and natural history. Individual volume
editors ensure the cohesion of the whole, and to make it as easy as
possible to use, chapter titles are identical across each of the
volumes. This gives the choice of reading about a specific period
in one of the volumes, or following a theme across history by
reading the relevant chapter in each of the six. The six volumes
cover: 1. - Antiquity (500 BCE - 800 CE); 2. - Medieval Age (1800 -
1450); 3. - Renaissance (1450 - 1650); 4. - Age of Enlightenment
(1650 - 1800); 5. - Age of Empire (1800 - 1920); 6 - Global Age
(1920 - 2000+). Each volumes adopts the same thematic structure,
covering: Knowledges, Practices, Networks, Islands and Shores,
Travelers, Representation, Imaginary Worlds, and Conflicts,
enabling readers to trace one theme throughout history, as well as
gaining a thorough overview of each individual period. A Cultural
History of the Sea is part of The Cultural Histories Series. Titles
are available as hardcover sets for libraries needing just one
subject or preferring a tangible reference for their shelves or as
part of a fully-searchable digital library. The digital product is
available to institutions by annual subscription or on perpetual
access via www.bloomsburyculturalhistory.com . Individual volumes
for academics and researchers interested in specific historical
periods are also available in print or digitally via
www.bloomsburycollections.com .
