A History of the Atlantic: Exploration, Wealth, and Hegemony/大西洋史：探索、财富与&

"This book retells global history from a unique maritime perspective. It opens with the legends and realities of the Atlantic before the Iberian discovery, then chronicles the experiences of adventurers on the ocean, the trade and rivalries among great powers, the rise of Atlantic port cities like New York and Liverpool, and the major historical events that took place there across different eras. It also provides a comprehensive analysis of the transformed fate of maritime peoples and the significance of the Atlantic campaigns during the two world wars of the 20th century.For too long, history has been written from a terrestrial (often national) perspective, but the ocean offers an alternative viewpoint grounded in contact, exchange, and transformation. Professor Butel's book charts a new direction for current Atlantic historical research, helping to deepen and refine our understanding in this area.¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿20¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿(¿¿¿¿¿)¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿Paul ButelProfessor of Modern History and Director of the Centre for Research on the History of the Atlantic Region at the University of Bordeaux Montaigne.¿¿·¿¿¿¿Paul Butel¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿
