The Oxford Encyclopedia of Maritime History edited by John B. Hattendorf, Oxford, 2007, ISBN: 978-0-19-513075-1
It will become a standard reference but at a price mostly for libraries.
Quote: | In four volumes and nearly 1,000 signed articles by an international group of historians and naval officers, the Encyclopedia offers a uniquely integrated approach, emphasizing the connections between maritime history and many related fields, including naval history, shipbuilding, navigation and scientific instrumentation, maritime art and literature, commerce and economics, exploration and maritime geography, oceanography and hydrology, and international maritime law. In so doing, the Encyclopedia provides, in a single reference work, a wealth of information that can otherwise be found only with the help of an extensive library. |
