Reizen door de eeuwen heen
In 1908 besloot een aantal historici en oud-zeevarenden om de belangrijkste journalen en reisverhalen van Nederlandse ontdekkingsreizigers uit de zestiende en zeventiende eeuw in boekvorm uit te geven. Zij richtten daarvoor de Linschoten-Vereeniging op. De naam van de vereniging ontleenden zij aan de koopman Jan Huygen van Linschoten, die eind zestiende eeuw lange tijd in Azië woonde en reisde. Na zijn terugkeer publiceerde deze Enkhuizer een boek over Azië, getiteld Itinerario; het beroemdste reisverhaal dat ooit door een Nederlander is geschreven. Het Itinerario is een van de meer dan honderd reisverslagen die de Linschoten-Vereeniging in de afgelopen eeuw heeft doen verschijnen. De vere...

The Maritime World of Early Modern Britain
Britain's emergence as one of Europe's major maritime powers has all too frequently been subsumed by nationalistic narratives that focus on operations and technology. This volume, by contrast, offers a daring new take on Britain's maritime past. It brings together scholars from a range of disciplines to explore the manifold ways in which the sea shaped British history, demonstrating the number of approaches that now have a stake in defining the discipline of maritime history. The chapters analyse the economic, social, and cultural contexts in which English maritime endeavour existed, as well as discussing representations of the sea. The contributors show how people from across the British Isles increasingly engaged with the maritime world, whether through their own lived experiences or through material culture. The volume also includes essays that investigate encounters between English voyagers and indigenous peoples in Africa, and the intellectual foundations of imperial ambition.
Climate Change Biology
Climate Change Biology is a new textbook which examines this emerging discipline of human-induced climate change and the resulting shifts in the distributions of species and the timing of biological events. The text focuses on understanding the impacts of human-induced climate change, but draws on multiple lines of evidence, including paleoecology, modelling and current observation. Climate Change Biology lays out the scope and depth of understanding of this new discipline in terms that are accessible to students, managers and professional biologists. The only advanced student text on the biological aspects of climate change Examines recent and deep past climate change effects to better understand the impacts of recent human-induced changes Discusses the conservation and other ecological implications of climate change in detail Presents recipes for coping with accelerating climate change in the future Includes extensive illustrations with maps diagrams and color photographs
