Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This two-volume set documents the essential role of the sea and maritime activity across history, from travel and food production to commerce and conquest. In all eras, water transport has served as the cheapest and most efficient means of moving cargo and people over any significant distance. Only relatively recently have railroads and aircraft provided an alternative. Most of the world's bulk goods continue to travel primarily by ship over water. Even today, 95 percent of the cargo that enters and leaves the United States does so by ship. Similarly, people around the world rely on the sea for food, and in recent years, the sea has become an important source of oil and other resources, with the longterm effects of our continuing efforts to extract resources from the sea further highlighting environmental concerns that range from pollution to the exhaustion of fish stocks. This chronologically organized two-volume reference addresses the history of the sea, beginning with ancient civilizations (4000 to 1000 BCE) and ending with the modern era (1945 to the present day). Each of the eight chapters is further broken down into sections that focus on specific nations or regions, offering detailed descriptions of that area of the world and shorter entries on specific topics, individuals, and events. The book spans maritime history, covering major seafaring peoples and nations; famous explorers, travelers, and commanders; events, battles, and wars; key technologies, including famous ships; important processes and ongoing events, such as piracy and the slave trade; and more. Readers will benefit from dozens of primary source documents—ranging from ancient Egyptian tales of seafaring to texts by renowned travelers like Marco Polo, Zheng He, and Ibn Battuta—that provide firsthand accounts from the age of discovery as well as accounts of battle from World War I and II and more modern accounts of the sea.

Download or read book Polynesian Seafaring and Navigation written by Richard Feinberg and published by Kent State University Press. This book was released on 2003-03-24 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After fourteen months of field research in 1972-73 and an additional four months of field work with the Anutans in the Solomon Islands capital of Honiara in 1983, Richard Feinberg here provides a thorough study of Anutan seafaring and navigation. In doing so he gives rare insights into the larger picture of how Polynesians have adapted to the sea. This richly illustrated book explores the theory and technique used by Anutans in construction, use, and handling of their craft; the navigational skills still employed in interisland voyaging; and their culturally patterned attitudes toward the ocean and travel on the high seas. Further, the discussion is set within the context of social relations, values, and the Anutan's own symbolic definitions of the world in which they live.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Over Land and Sea: Reminiscences of Travel, 1844-1894 I was a very small traveller indeed when I crossed for the first time the broad Atlantic and co landed at Montreal in 1826. Passed my childhood and youth in Canada and in early manhood left for New York in order to take sailing ship, at that port, for New 3 Orleans. New York was then, as now, the commercial metropolis of the United States. It was at 3 this time, 1844, high state of prosperity, 2 rapidly stretching itself lengthwise and overflowing Brooklyn and New Jersey with its surplus population.6 Arrived in New Orleans in December, 1844. The levee was crowded with shipping, and hundreds of flatboats were moored alongside. A generous air of prosperity was over all. The cotton business successfully claimed my attention for the next two years, and in 1846 spent my vacation in Canada.

Download or read book Setting Sail written by Luc Cuyvers and published by Tide-Mark Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Setting Sail tells the 10,000-year story of mankind's quest to cross the world's oceans. It is a remarkable saga that moves from island to island, between nations, and eventually across continents as various peoples share skills and technologies that advance their sailing skills. The book accompanies a four-part television program which is currently airing on the Discovery Channel's High Definition network. A DVD of the program is included with the purchase of this book. Author Luc Cuyvers looks first into the prehistory and the Polynesian diaspora that began before the Christian era. At a time when most sailors refused to venture beyond the sight of land, Polynesians were the first 'bluewater' adventurers, exploring the western Pacific Ocean across an area greater than twice the size of the American continent. Setting Sail considers the advances and techniques that allowed Arab Traders to pursue the first ocean going trade routes. By 750AD, Arab traders regularly sailed to India, Ceylon, and onward as far as China and Korea. Seven centuries later, new centres of exploration were stirring. The Chinese began to travel on voyages of discovery and Portugal's Prince Henry the Navigator sponsored the first of many voyages that would change Europe's understanding of the maritime world. The story Setting Sail tells is fascinating and visually exciting. The text is supplemented with more than 100 colour photographs of places, people, and ships that illustrate the story of ocean exploration.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This innovative study makes a major contribution to the long scholarly discussion of the problematic geography of Mark's Gospel. Using both modern spatial theory and an exhaustive review of ancient evidence, Stewart demonstrates how Mark's spatial perceptions reflect Greek, Roman and Jewish understandings of human geography. He addresses Mark's editorial and compositional control over the geographic presentation of Jesusis ministry, ultimately arguing that in Mark, Jesus offers a unique spatialpractice.
