Description

Explore the evolution of marine science with this comprehensive history from Routledge. Scientists and the Sea, 1650-1900 provides a detailed look at how our understanding of the ocean changed over nearly 2500 years. The narrative begins with the early speculations of Greek philosophers and follows the progression of human curiosity across different locations and eras. This study tracks the development of oceanography from its early stages through to the late 19th century, when the first deep-sea researches laid the groundwork for modern science. Originally published in 1971, this work remains a wide-ranging treatment of how marine science emerged within the western tradition. It is an essential resource for readers interested in the history of science and the long journey to understanding the world's oceans.
