Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the prefatory note to Mr. Worcester's earlier book--"Junks and Sampans of the Upper Yangtze"-Sir Frederick Maze, former Inspector General of Customs, pointed out that the Chinese have probably shown more originality than any other people in connection with shipbuilding, and commented on their ingenuity in designing vessels to suit special requirements and different conditions. Mr. Worcester's present book, which deals with the craft of the Yangtze Estuary, provides further striking evidence of the high degree of specialization in design and function achieved by Chinese shipbuilders. Steam and internal combustion engines, with their superior speed and economy, have already supplanted the sail and the oar on certain routes and in certain types of vessels, and these developments must inevitably continue, but even to-day an immense tonnage of cargo, and uncounted thousands of passengers, are carried by the junks and sampans described in this book. -- Prefactory note.

Book Synopsis Salt and Civilization by : S.A.M. Adshead
Download or read book Salt and Civilization written by S.A.M. Adshead and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-07-27 with total page 427 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Highly recommended as a thorough examination of the commodity history of salt'-The Geographical Journal. Salt has been called the primordial addiction. It has been an object of almost universal consumption since Neolithic times. This book sets out to place the particular histories of salt in a global perspective and write the history of a human commodity as a theme in world history. From pagan man, through classical Rome, Byzantium, early Islam, the Dark Ages, the Renaissance to the modern world, the production, distribution, consumption and taxation of salt are examined. The author shows how a history of salt cannot be separated from the histories of commerce, medicine, diet, cooking, taxation, invention and war. Although taken for granted today, salt has been of critical economic and cultural importance to countries and peoples throughout history; the instigator and catalyst to actions and events ranging from the first maritime expedition of Muslim forces to Columbus's discovery of America. After Salt and Civilization salt can not be taken for granted again.
