The Sea and Civilization | Lincoln Paine | Paperback
Impuestos incluidos
Lincoln Paine retells world history through the waterways that connected it. Seas and rivers become routes by which people, goods, languages and beliefs travelled, making maritime activity central to the development of societies far beyond the shoreline.
The account reaches from early migration and the trading worlds of Egypt, Mesopotamia and the Indus Valley to the maritime cultures of the Mediterranean and Asia, then onward to modern commercial and naval shipping. Its breadth makes it particularly rewarding for readers who want to place an individual vessel, port or voyage within a larger history. Alongside accounts of exploration, Paine gives trade and cultural exchange their proper weight, showing how connections across water helped build—and transform—civilizations.
