Description

Scientists and the Sea traces the fascinating development of marine science across nearly 2500 years, from ancient Greek philosophical speculation through to the groundbreaking deep-sea research of the late 19th century that established modern oceanography. This comprehensive history explores how scientific curiosity about the ocean emerged across different cultures and periods before crystallising into the formal discipline we recognise today. Originally published in 1971, this used book in good condition remains the definitive and most wide-ranging examination of how marine science developed within western scientific tradition, offering readers unparalleled insight into the intellectual foundations of oceanography and humanity's evolving relationship with the sea.

Key Features

The book examines how scientific curiosity about the ocean appeared across multiple cultures and locations before modern oceanography developed.

Originally published in 1971, this used book in good condition remains the most authoritative treatment of marine science's historical emergence.

Routledge's definitive text explores the intellectual foundations of marine science and its progression toward contemporary oceanographic methods.
