  Das Mittelmeer

  Die Geschichte des Mittelmeeres ist die Geschichte unserer Zivilisation.Das großartige, opulente Werk zur Geschichte des Mittelmeers - seit mehr als 3000 Jahren ist das Mittelmeer eines der Zentren der zivilisierten Welt. An seiner geographischen Achse entscheiden sich bereits zu Zeiten Trojas politische und kulturelle Neuerungen, die von weltpolitischer Bedeutung sind. Von hier aus werden neue Reiche erobert, Grenzen verschoben, Weltanschauungen durchgesetzt, Irrfahrten begangen, es gab Schrecken, Kriege, Fehden, Erstürmungen und Tragödien. Aber es existiert ebenso die andere Seite, und diese besteht aus der unvergleichlichen Geschichte eines Dialog verschiedener Kulturen, Identitäten, Politiken, Wissenschaften, Handel und Religionen entlang der Küsten des Gewässers, für das die Römer noch den einen, allbezeichnenden Namen hatten: Mare Nostrum. Abulafia schlägt einen Bogen durch Raum und Zeit und zeigt, wie das Mittelmeer zu eben jenem kraftvollen Ort wurde, an dem sich die Geschichte der Menschheit auf einzigartige Weise widerspiegelt. Ein aufsehenerregendes Werk mit einem reichen Farbbildteil.»Eine gelehrte Geschichte der Menschheit erzählt anhand des Mittelmeeres - packend, welthaltig, blutig, lustvoll - , die durch ihre Gelehrtheit, Begeisterung und Bereitschaft zu Staunen besticht.« Simon Sebag Montefiore, Autor von 'Jerusalem'»Dieses Buch wird für lange Zeit konkurenzlos sein.«Literary Review»Dieses Buch ist ein Meilenstein.«The Independent»Die vielfältige Qualität von Abulafias Wissen ist fast unheimlich.«Observer»Dieses epische, hervorragend zu lesende und gelehrte Werk über die Geburtsstätte des Westens - das Mittelmeer -, ist der Kandidat für das Geschichtsbuch des Jahres. Abulafia übertrumpft sie alle.«Sunday Times

  The Boundless Sea

  WINNER OF THE WOLFSON HISTORY PRIZE 2020A 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.

At the forefront of the latter's ground-breaking discovery was Oxford Professor Tom Higham.In The World Before Us, he explains the scientific and technological advancements - in radiocarbon dating and ancient DNA, for example - that allowed each of these discoveries to be made, enabling us to be more accurate in our predictions about not just how long ago these other humans lived, but how they lived, interacted and live on in our genes today.

  Jungle

  'A bold, ambitious and truly wonderful history of the world' Peter Wohlleben, author of The Hidden Life of Trees'A fascinating story and a crucial revision of the momentous importance of tropical forests to human history' Lewis Dartnell, author of Origins_________________________Jungle tells the remarkable story of the world's tropical forests, from the arrival of the first plants millions of years ago to the role of tropical forests in the evolution of the world's atmosphere, the dinosaurs, the first mammals and even our own species and ancestors.Highlighting provocative new evidence garnered from cutting-edge research, Dr Roberts shows, for example, that our view of humans as 'savannah specialists' is wildly wrong, and that the 'Anthropocene' began not with the Industrial Revolution, but potentially as early as 6,000 years ago in the tropics.We see that the relationship between humankind and 'jungles' is deep-rooted, that we are all connected to their destruction, and that we must all act to save them. Urgent, clear-sighted and original, Jungle challenges the way we think about the world - and ourselves. _________________________'Welcome to the "Jungle" - a breathtaking book' Mark Maslin, author of How to Save Our Planet'Timely, readable and highly relevant' Steve Brusatte, author of The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs'Its revelations and stories will stir, rearrange and populate your mind for years to come' Paul Hawken, editor of Drawdown'Brilliant ... it delivers a timely warning about our abuse of the environment' David Abulafia, author of The Great Sea'Finally, a book on rainforests that does justice to their majesty and importance' Simon Lewis, co-author of The Human Planet
