The sea and civilisation - A maritime history of the world

2013

A monumental, wholly accessible work of scholarship that retells human history through the story of mankind's relationship with the sea.

An accomplishment of both great sweep and illuminating detail, The Sea and Civilization is a stunning work of history that reveals in breathtaking depth how people first came into contact with one another by ocean and river, and how goods, languages, religions, and entire cultures spread across and along the world's waterways.
