It is not long ago that Camper filled all Holland with his renown; Germany too, a short time since, boasted of Richter, Siebold, and Brunninghausen.

Sea Narratives: Cultural Responses to the Sea, 1600–Present
Author: Charlotte Mathieson
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 1137581166
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 278
Book Description
Sea Narratives: Cultural Responses to the Sea, 1600-Present explores the relationship between the sea and culture from the early modern period to the present. The collection uses the concept of the ‘sea narrative’ as a lens through which to consider the multiple ways in which the sea has shaped, challenged, and expanded modes of cultural representation to produce varied, contested and provocative chronicles of the sea across a variety of cultural forms within diverse socio-cultural moments. Sea Narratives provides a unique perspective on the relationship between the sea and cultural production: it reveals the sea to be more than simply a source of creative inspiration, instead showing how the sea has had a demonstrable effect on new modes and forms of narration across the cultural sphere, and in turn, how these forms have been essential in shaping socio-cultural understandings of the sea. The result is an incisive exploration of the sea’s force as a cultural presence.

Off the Map
Author: Fergus Fleming
Publisher: Open Road + Grove/Atlantic
ISBN: 1555848524
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 558
Book Description
“A fine and lively collection of exploration stories” from the author of Barrow’s Boys (Kirkus Reviews). On John Franklin’s 1820 expedition to find the Northwest Passage, Michel Teroahaute cannibalized two team members and was preparing a third when he was caught and killed. When Rene La Salle set off for the Mississippi Delta in 1684, he missed the target by five hundred miles, but on landing, immediately built a prison for those who fell asleep on watch. Consummate storyteller Fergus Fleming brings together these and forty-three other gripping stories spanning three ages of exploration in Off the Map. Off the Map recounts episodes both classic and forgotten: The “classics” are brought to life in more vivid colors than ever before; the lesser-known stories offer accounts of extraordinary feats that have long lain hidden. From the Renaissance golden age of Columbus, da Gama, and Magellan, to the twentieth-century heroics of polar explorers such as Peary, Scott, and Amundsen, this is an unforgettable journey into the annals of adventure. “A first-rate one-volume . . . introduction to many hair-raising stories of exploration.” —The New York Times “Each story is short, punchy, and crammed with facts . . . Fleming possesses an eye for wry detail.” —Adventure “There isn’t a dud in the lot . . . Adventure reading of a high order: brisk, fresh and full of color.” —Kirkus Reviews
