And just as surely, people have shaped the Atlantic. In his innovative account of this interdependency, W. Jeffrey Bolster, a historian and professional seafarer, takes us through a millennium-long environmental history of our impact on one of the largest ecosystems in the world. While overfishing is often thought of as a contemporary problem, Bolster reveals that humans were transforming the sea long before factory trawlers turned fishing from a handliner's art into an industrial enterprise. The western Atlantic's legendary fishing banks, stretching from Cape Cod to Newfoundland, have attracted fishermen for more than five hundred years. Bolster follows the effects of this siren's song from its medieval European origins to the advent of industrialized fishing in American waters at the beginning of the twentieth century. Blending marine biology, ecological insight, and a remarkable cast of characters, from notable explorers to scientists to an army of unknown fishermen, Bolster tells a story that is both ecological and human: the prelude to an environmental disaster. Over generations, harvesters created a quiet catastrophe as the sea could no longer renew itself. Bolster writes in the hope that the intimate relationship humans have long had with the ocean, and the species that live within it, can be restored for future generations.Fishing the Atlantic in the Age of SailFisheriesNorth Atlantic OceanHistoryFishersNorth Atlantic OceanHistoryFishery managementNorth Atlantic OceanHistoryMarine biodiversityNorth Atlantic OceanHistoryAtlantic Coast (New England)HistoryAtlantic Coast (Canada)HistoryElectronic books.FisheriesHistory.FishersHistory.Fishery managementHistory.Marine biodiversityHistory.639.209163/1Bolster W.

In Gender and Muslim Constructions of Exegetical Authority , Aisha Geissinger provides a comprehensive introduction to such quotations, and offers an analysis of their place and significance within the pre-modern genre of Quran commentary, demonstrating that key hermeneutical concepts in classical quranic exegesis ( tafsīr ) are gendered. Bringing together materials which have not previously been examined in detail and utilising gender as a lens through which to study them, this work provides a new approach to the study of pre-modern tafsīr .Islamic history and civilization ;Volume 117.Women transmitters of the HadithHadithAuthoritiesElectronic books.Women transmitters of the Hadith.HadithAuthorities.297.125082Geissinger Aisha976820MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910461150203321Gender and Muslim constructions of exegetical authority2225325UNINA
