The Sea in History - The Medieval World / La mer dans l’histoire - Le Moyen Âge
Year: 2017 Language: english/french Author: Balard M., Buchet C. (eds.) Genre: History Publisher: Boydell Press ISBN: 1783271590 Format: PDF Quality: Scanned pages Pages count: 1086 Description: How important has the sea been in the development of human history? Very important indeed is the conclusion of this ground-breaking four volume work. The books bring together the world's leading maritime historians, who address the question of what difference the sea has made in relation to around 250 situations ranging from the earliest times to the present. They consider, across the entire world, subjects related to human migration, trade, economic development, warfare, the building of political units including states and empires, the dissemination of ideas, culture and religion, and much more, showing how the sea was crucial to all these aspects of human development. The Sea in History - The Medieval World covers the period from the end of the Roman Empire in the West up to around the year 1500. It demonstrates that for many peoples and states in this period the sea was central to their existence - the Vikings, the Hanse, Venice, Genoa, the Normans - and it shows also how important the sea was for states which are not normally thought of as maritime powers, such as Byzantium, the Crusader states and the Mongol Empire. The book is global in its coverage, including material on East and Southeast Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean and Africa, with particularly interesting material on China's extensive voyages of exploration in the fifteenth century, the role of the Vikings in the early formation of Russia, and on the building of ships, appropriate to local conditions, in different parts of the world. Additional info: Opiniones editoriales Review Contains many interesting and thought-provoking papers (and) provides a good introduction to diverse maritime aspects of the medieval world. Both Association Océanides and the editors and authors of this substantial volume should be praised for embarking on this historical circumnavigation. MEDIEVAL ARCHAEOLOGY(G)iven the importance of maritime context for the law of the sea and admiralty, virtually all of the essays will reward serious study by those interested in the history of the law of the sea. JUS GENTIUM Any specialist in naval technology will be well served by this book. Specialists in the history of shipbuilding, nautical technology, or naval organization will have reason to consult it, and those pursuing cross-cultural approaches to these subjects may find it very valuable indeed. . . . I would certainly hope to find it in any library or collection devoted to naval or maritime studies.
