This collection presents a new vision of world history, focused not on the land but on the 70% of the Earth's surface covered by water. Leading experts introduce the history of oceans (Indian, Pacific, Atlantic) and seas (South China, Mediterranean, Red, Black, Baltic, and more) for teachers, students and researchers.
Oceanic Histories is the first comprehensive account of world history focused not on the land but viewed through the 70% of the Earth''s surface covered by water. Leading historians trace the history of the Indian, Pacific, and Atlantic Oceans and seas, from the Arctic and the Baltic to the South China Sea and the Sea of Japan/Korea''s East Sea, over the longue durée. Individual chapters trace the histories and the historiographies of the various oceanic regions, with special attention given to the histories of circulation and particularity, the links between human and non-human history and the connections and comparisons between parts of the World Ocean. Showcasing oceanic history as a field with a long past and a vibrant future, these authoritative surveys, original arguments and guides to research make this volume an indispensable resource for students and scholars alike.
