Inhaltsangabe
Vast Expanses is a cultural, environmental and geopolitical history of humanity’s relationship with oceans, stretching across geological and evolutionary time and across cultures. It traces ancient connections with the sea and shows how industrialization and globalization multiplied them, challenging Western depictions of the ocean as remote or immune to human influence. The book argues that knowledge of the ocean – discovered through work and play, scientific investigation and through the ambitions people have harboured for the sea – has been central to defining our relationship with this vast, trackless and opaque place. Ultimately, the story of the oceans is also the story of ourselves: what we have taken, what we have imagined and what we must now learn to protect.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. A history of humanitys relationship with oceans across cultures and centuries.Vast Expanses is a cultural, environmental and geopolitical history that examines the relationship between humans and oceans, reaching back across geological and evolutionary time and exploring different cultures around the globe.Our ancient connections with the sea have developed and multiplied with industrialisation and globalisation, a trajectory that runs counter to Western depictions of the ocean as a place remote from and immune to human influence. This book argues that knowledge about the ocean created through work and play, scientific investigation, and also through the ambitions people have harboured for the sea has played a central role in defining our relationship with this vast, trackless and opaque place. It has helped people exploit marine resources, control ocean space, extend imperial or national power, and attempt to refashion the sea into a more tractable arena for human activity. Knowledge of the ocean has animated and strengthened connections between people and their seas. To understand this history we must address questions of how, by whom and why knowledge of the ocean was created and used, in both the past and the present; through this, we can forge a healthier relationship with the sea for the future. Vast Expanses is a cultural, environmental and geopolitical history that examines the relationship between humans and oceans, reaching back across geological and evolutionary time and exploring different cultures around the globe.
