Europe is a maritime continent, its history and culture decisively shaped by the exploration and use of the surrounding seas. For Europeans, the sea has long served as a space of rule and trade, bridge and border, resource and desire. This gorgeous volume examines the importance of the sea for the development of European civilizations, featuring more than four hundred illustrations spanning more than two millennia of European maritime cultural history. Chapters explore thirteen themes, each linked to a port city—moving from myths and the artistic perception of the sea, to the sciences of shipbuilding, seafaring, and oceanography, and from the sea’s role in the slave trade, migration, and expansion, to its importance for coastal trade and tourism. Richly illustrated throughout, Europe and the Sea demonstrates that the domination of the seas has been a central component of European power politics for centuries. 欧洲是一个海洋大陆,它的历史和文化决定性地塑造了对周围海域的探索和利用。对于欧洲人来说,海洋长期以来一直是统治和贸易、桥梁和边界、资源和欲望的空间。这本华丽的书探讨了海洋对欧洲文明发展的重要性,展示了超过400幅插图,跨越了两千多年的欧洲海洋文化历史。各章探讨了十三个主题,每个主题都与一个港口城市有关ーー从神话和对海洋的艺术感知,到造船、航海和海洋学的科学,从海洋在奴隶贸易、移民和扩张中的作用,到它对沿海贸易和旅游业的重要性。《欧洲与海洋》充分说明,几个世纪以来,统治海洋一直是欧洲强权政治的核心组成部分。 基本信息 出版社 : Hirmer Publishers (2018年9月15日) 语言 : 英语 精装 : 448页 ISBN-10 : 3777430161 ISBN-13 : 978-3777430164 商品重量 : 1.85 kilograms 尺寸 : 20.96 x 3.81 x 27.94 cm
