The Indian Ocean (Seas in History) by Michael Pearson

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good to near fine condition. Slight defect in bottom back cover where it has not been tucked squarely when gluing. It is not an obvious fault.

The Indian Ocean moves from a discussion of physical elements, its shape, winds, currents and boundaries, to a history from pre-Islamic times to the modern period of European dominance. Going far beyond pure maritime history, this compelling survey is an invaluable addition to political, cultural and economic world history.
