The Geography of the Ocean (eBook, ePUB)

Knowing the ocean as a space

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Despite the fact that the vast majority of the earth's surface is made up of oceans, there has been surprisingly little work by geographers which critically examines ocean-space, our knowledge and perceptions of it. This book uniquely brings together fascinating specific stories from throughout history with a broad overview of the production of geographical knowledge about the ocean. It questions how we know what we know about the oceans, and how this knowledge is represented and mapped. The books then uses this representation and mapping of geographical knowledge as a way coherently tracing the evolution of oceanic spatial awareness.
