Author: Andrea Grover (ed.)In this work, Alexis Rockman looks at the world’s waterways as a network by which all of history has travelled. The transport of language, culture, art, architecture, cuisine, religion, disease and warfare can all be traced along seafaring routes dating back to and in some cases predating the earliest recorded civilisations. Through depiction's of historic or obscure shipwrecks and their lost cargoes, Rockman addresses the impact the migration of goods, people, plants and animals has on the planet.ISBN 9781942884958.
