Description:
A World at Sea sharpens and expands our understanding of how the maritime world contributed to global transformations in the early modern world, from inventing knowledge-making practices to pioneering new ways of organizing labor to legal experiments that spanned land and sea.
Review Quotes: "A World at Sea explores several neglected aspects of the period while also refreshingly venturing outside of the series' traditional geographic focus on the Atlantic World. In their shared aim of placing maritime practices at the centre of world history, the contributors to this fine collection of essays propose a useful and convincing conceptual framework for maritime world history based on the study of land-sea regimes."-- "Histoire sociale/Social History"
