A monumental retelling of world history through the lens of maritime enterprise, revealing in breathtaking depth how people first came into contact with one another by ocean and river, lake and stream, and how goods, languages, religions, and entire cultures spread across and along the world's waterways, bringing together civilizations and defining what makes us most human.

Scholarly but uninspiring history
Revisado: 09-14-23
Paine performs an excellent work of scholarship laying the groundwork of maritime history, but fails to deliver either on the commonalities of seagoing across civilizations or to condense his work into a strong and interesting thesis. This is where the book falls short of Silk Roads or Mike Duncan’s Revolutions Podcast that feel more like they have something they want to put forward.
