The abundance of marine life described by 15th century seafarers is almost unimaginable today, but Roberts both brings it alive and artfully traces its depletion. Collapsing fisheries, he shows, are simply the latest chapter in a long history of unfettered commercialization of the seas."--JacketOcean and civilizationOceanHistoryOcean and civilization.OceanHistory.909/.0956.36.20EP-CLASSRoberts Callum1572031MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910782141703321The unnatural history of the sea3846637UNINA
