摘要

This is the second of four massive volumes, the product of Oceanides, the extraordinary five-year international (but primarily French) research project which brings together hundreds of the world's leading scholars of maritime history, and attempts to answer some of the very largest questions of how the sea has impacted on human history, from ancient times to the present. This truly global volume, roughly covering the period from the fall of Rome to Columbus, includes 74 contributions from 31 countries.
