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."--Jacket 606 $aOcean and civilization 606 $aOcean$xHistory 615 0$aOcean and civilization. 615 0$aOcean$xHistory. 676 $a909/.09 686 $a56.36.20$2EP-CLASS 700 $aRoberts$b Callum$01572031 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910782141703321 996 $aThe unnatural history of the sea$93846637 997 $aUNINA
