Product Description

Paul Kosmin argues that the coast—not individual shores, but the coast as such—was fundamental to ancient history. The social and natural dynamics of the coast profoundly shaped not just politics and trade but also ancient peoples’ sense of wonder and of self, earning constant philosophical, religious, scientific, and literary attention.
