This book argues that knowledge about the ocean—created through work and play, scientific investigation, and also through the ambitions people have harboured for the sea—has played a central role in defining our relationship with this vast, trackless, and opaque place. It has helped people exploit marine resources, control ocean space, extend imperial or national power, and attempt to refashion the sea into a more tractable arena for human activity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eKnowledge of the ocean has animated and strengthened connections between people and their seas. To understand this history, we must address questions of how, by whom, and why knowledge of the ocean was created and used, both in the past and the present; through this, we can forge a healthier relationship with the sea for the future.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"NewSouth Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46852371972332,"sku":"9781780239972","price":44.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/23186133482821.jpg?v=1759149686"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/helen-m-rozwadowski.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
