The sea : a cultural history
Mack, John, 1949-2013
Book
John Mack considers the ways in which human beings interact because of the sea, navigate their course across it, live on and around it: the variety of ways in which people 'inhabit' the sea, whether they sail on it or live beside it, on promontories, estuaries and ports which abut the sea.
