"I want to change the way you see the world," says Lincoln Paine at the beginning of his history of mankind's encounter with the sea. It's a worthy goal and superbly realized. ... "The Sea and Civilization" is a history, not a polemic: It is by the careful retelling of our experience of the sea, using an astonishing mass of the most up-to-date evidence, that Mr. Paine persuades us.

"A maritime history of the world"--
A retelling of world history through the lens of maritime enterprise, revealing in depth how people first came into contact with one another by ocean and river, lake and stream, and how goods, languages, religions, and entire cultures spread across and along the world's waterways, bringing together civilizations and defining what makes us most human. Above all, Paine makes clear how the rise and fall of civilizations can be linked to the sea. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
