The Sea: Nature and Culture Hamblyn Richard
Sailing across time and geography, the imaginary and the real, The Sea chronicles the many physical and cultural meanings of the watery abyss.This book explores the sea and its meanings from ancient myths to contemporary geopolitics, from Atlantis to the Mediterranean migrant crisis. Along the way he considers the sea as a site of work and endurance; of story and song; of language, leisure, and longing.
