The Geography of the Ocean: Knowing the ocean as a space: Studies in Historical Geography
Autor Anne-Flore Laloëen Limba Engleză Paperback – 12 feb 2018
Using a combination of original, empirical (archival, material and cartographic), and theoretical sources, this book uniquely brings together fascinating narratives throughout history to produce a representation and mapping of geographical oceanic knowledge. It questions how we know what we know about the oceans and how this knowledge is represented and mapped. The book then uses this representation and mapping as a way to coherently trace the evolution of oceanic spatial awareness.
In recent years, particularly in historical geography, discovering and knowing the ocean-space has been a completely separate enterprise from discovering and colonising the lands beyond it. There has been such focus on studying colonised lands, yet the oceans between them have been neglected. This book gives the geographical ocean a voice to be acknowledged as a space where history, geography and indeed historical geography took place.

Descriere
Despite the fact that the vast majority of the earth's surface is made up of oceans, there has been surprisingly little work by geographers which critically examines ocean-space, our knowledge and perceptions of it. This book uniquely brings together fascinating specific stories from throughout history with a broad overview of the production of geographical knowledge about the ocean. It questions how we know what we know about the oceans, and how this knowledge is represented and mapped. The books then uses this representation and mapping of geographical knowledge as a way coherently tracing the evolution of oceanic spatial awareness.
