Offering an introduction to the world's seas as a platform for
global exchange and connection, Michael North offers an impressive
world history of the seas over more than 3,000 years. Exploring the
challenges and dangers of the oceans that humans have struggled
with for centuries, he also shows the possibilities and
opportunities they have provided from antiquity to the modern day.
Written to demonstrate the global connectivity of the seas, but
also to highlight regional maritime power during different eras, A
World History of the Seas takes sailors, merchants and migrants as
the protagonists of these histories and explores how their
experiences and perceptions of the seas were consolidated through
trade and cultural exchange. Bringing together the various maritime
historiographies of the world and underlining their unity, this
book shows how the ocean has been a vital and natural space of
globalization. Carrying goods, creating alliances, linking
continents and conveying culture, the history of the ocean played a
central role in creating our modern globalized world.
