Atlantic Ocean - The Illustrated History Of The Ocean That Changed The World

摘要

This is an in-depth look at the Atlantic Ocean, those who have sailed across it, and the world-shifting transformations wrought by those explorers and travellers over the many centuries. Since 300BC the Atlantic has served as the corridor for fundamental exchanges of peoples and technologies, a pathway for the transfer of ideas and cultures that defined and challenged communities across wide spans of time and space. In this book, which is the first illustrated and comprehensive history of the Atlantic World, Martin Sandier explores the historical, socio-economic, political, scientific, and cultural developments that occurred throughout this important region and that shaped the modern world.
