Pacific: An Ocean of Wonders | Philip Hatfield | Hardback
Taxes included
The Pacific is often treated as empty space between continents. Philip Hatfield makes the ocean itself the centre of the story, examining the peoples, vessels and exchanges that have shaped its history. Maps, paintings, photographs and objects help trace a world connected by water long before European ships arrived.
The subjects range from navigation and trade to whaling, natural history and the changing ways the ocean has been represented. Published by the British Library, this illustrated hardback offers a visual counterpart to a conventional maritime history. It is particularly well suited to readers interested in historic maps and images, and in the relationship between seafaring cultures and the waters they crossed.
