Boundless Sea
«
‘The Boundless Sea does a good job making a case for a new kind of historiography. It’s easy to imagine how Horden and Purcell’s model of regional environmental history could be fruitfully applied to other regions that can in turn be connected to each other... There are many exciting possibilities for collaboration in such an endeavor, precisely because it’s too big for one person (or two) to tackle even over decades. In this sense, Horden and Purcell suggest that the new world history will be a team project rather than one person’s Grand Theory of Everything. The papers in this volume provide many insightful suggestions about how such a project might unfold’ - Bryn Mawr Classical Review
