We begin with the Middle Palaeolithic hunter-gatherers in the eastern Mediterranean building simple vessels to make their remarkable crossing to Crete and we end in the early years of the sixteenth century with sailors from Spain, Portugal and England establishing the limits of the ocean from Labrador to Patagonia. The message is that the contest between humans and the sea has been a driving force, perhaps the driving force, in human history. 606 $aOcean and civilization 607 $aAtlantic Ocean$xHistory 607 $aMediterranean Sea$xHistory 608 $aHistory.$2fast 615 0$aOcean and civilization. 676 $a909.09 700 $aCunliffe$b Barry$0164591 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910796388203321 996 $aOn the ocean$93744325 997 $aUNINA
