    Abstract: WINNER OF THE WOLFSON HISTORY PRIZE 2020 A SUNDAY TIMES, FINANCIAL TIMES, THE TIMES AND BBC HISTORY MAGAZINE BOOK OF THE YEARFor most of human history, the seas and oceans have been the main means of long-distance trade and communication between peoples - for the spread of ideas and religion as well as commerce. This book traces the history of human movement and interaction around and across the world's greatest bodies of water, charting our relationship with the oceans from the time of the first voyagers. David Abulafia begins with the earliest of seafaring societies - the Polynesians of the Pacific, the possessors of intuitive navigational skills long before the invention of the compass, who by the first century were trading between their far-flung islands. By the seventh century, trading routes stretched from the coasts of Arabia and Africa to southern China and Japan, bringing together the Indian Ocean and the western Pacific and linking half the world through the international spice trade. In the Atlantic, centuries before the little kingdom of Portugal carved out its powerful, seaborne empire, many peoples sought new lands across the sea - the Bretons, the Frisians and, most notably, the Vikings, now known to be the first Europeans to reach North America. As Portuguese supremacy dwindled in the late sixteenth century, the Spanish, the Dutch and then the British each successively ruled the waves.Following merchants, explorers, pirates, cartographers and travellers in their quests for spices, gold, ivory, slaves, lands for settlement and knowledge of what lay beyond, Abulafia has created an extraordinary narrative of humanity and the oceans. From the earliest forays of peoples in hand-hewn canoes through uncharted waters to the routes now taken daily by supertankers in their thousands, The Boundless Sea shows how maritime networks came to form a continuum of interaction and interconnection across the globe: 90 per cent of global trade is still conducted by sea. This is history of the grandest scale and scope, and from a bracingly different perspective - not, as in most global histories, from the land, but from the boundless seas.

    Abstract: Verlagsinfo: Die Zeit zwischen 300 und 1000 prägt mit ihren Ideen, Religionen und Kulturen Europa und den mediterranen Raum bis heute. Der Katalog zur Ausstellung im LVR-LandesMuseum in Bonn zeigt die vielfältigen Lebenswelten im frühen Mittelalter von Irland und Spanien im Westen bis Ägypten, Persien und Ungarn im Osten. Reich illustriert mit über 200 Abbildungen. Der Katalog zur internationalen Ausstellung Europa in Bewegung entwirft ein grosses Panorama der Lebenswelten zwischen 300 und 1000, am Wendepunkt von der Antike zum Mittelalter. Überraschend vielschichtig und facettenreich ist das Bild der spätantiken und frühmittelalterlichen Regionen zwischen Irland und Spanien im Westen und Ägypten, Persien und Ungarn im Osten. Trotz aller Unterschiede im Umgang mit dem Erbe der Antike ist die Epoche von faszinierenden Verbindungen zwischen den unterschiedlichen Lebenswelten mit ihrer geradezu überbordenden kulturellen Vielfalt geprägt. Über 200 kostbare Objekte aus den bedeutendsten europäischen Museen legen beredtes Zeugnis ab von dem regen Austausch von Ideen, Glauben, Traditionen und Handelsgütern. Im Katalog begegnen uns auf besonders gestalteten Doppelseiten bemerkenswerte Persönlichkeiten, die als Pilger, Wissenschaftler, Händler und Reisende diese für uns so fremden Welten bereisten, erkundeten und zwischen ihnen vermittelten
