Exploration, Religion and Empire in the Sixteenth-century Ibero-Atlantic World: A New Perspective on the History of Modern Science
ISBN: 9789463725316 / Twarda Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 25-30 dni roboczych. The Iberian conquest of the Atlantic at the beginning of the sixteenth century had a notable impact on the formation of the new world order in which Christian Europe claimed control over most a considerable part of the planet. This was possible thanks to the confluence of different and inseparable factors: the development of new technical capacities and favorable geographical conditions in which to navigate the great oceans; the Christian mandate to extend the faith; the need for new trade routes; and an imperial organization aspiring to global dominance. The author explores new methods for...

Piracy in World History
ISBN: 9789463729215 / Twarda Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 25-30 dni roboczych. In a modern global historical context, scholars have often regarded piracy as an essentially European concept which was inappropriately applied by the expanding European powers to the rest of the world, mainly for the purpose of furthering colonial forms of domination in the economic, political, military, legal and cultural spheres. By contrast, this edited volume highlights the relevance of both European and non-European understandings of piracy to the development of global maritime security and freedom of navigation. It explores the significance of 'legal posturing' on the part of those...

Art and Ocean Objects of Early Modern Eurasia: Shells, Bodies, and Materiality
ISBN: 9789463721158 / Twarda Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 25-30 dni roboczych. During the early modern period, objects of maritime material culture were removed from their places of origin and traded, collected and displayed worldwide. Focusing on shells and pearls exchanged within local and global networks, this monograph compares and connects Asian, in particular Chinese, and European practices of oceanic exploitation in the framework of a transcultural history of art with an understanding of maritime material culture as gendered. Perceiving the ocean as mother of all things, as womb and birthplace, Chinese and European artists and collectors exoticized and eroticized...

ISBN: 9781584774075 / Angielski / Twarda / 156 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 25-30 dni roboczych. A sophisticated defense of state supremacy. Hardcover, 151 pp. Originally published: Philadelphia: Lea & Blanchard, 1842. Published simultaneously in the United States and Great Britain, Enquiry criticizes Britain's seizure of American vessels engaged in the Atlantic slave trade.

Compass : A Story of Exploration and Innovation
ISBN: 9780393327137 / Angielski / Miękka / 322 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Compass chronicles the misadventures of those who attempted to perfect the magnetic compass--so precious to sixteenth-century seamen that, by law, any man found tampering with it had his hand pinned to the mast with a dagger. From the time man first took to the seas until only one thousand years ago, sight and winds were the sailor's only navigational aids. It was not until the development of the compass that maps and charts could be used with any accuracy--even so, it would be hundreds of years and thousands of shipwrecks before the marvelous instrument was perfected. And its...
