It shows how globalisation and the growth of maritime knowledge served to reinforce one another, and demonstrates how and why maritime history should be put firmly at the heart of global history. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eExploring the dynamics of globalisation, knowledge-making and European expansion, \u003ci\u003eGlobal Ocean of Knowledge \u003c\/i\u003etakes a transnational approach and transgresses the traditional border between the early modern and modern periods. It focuses on three main periodisations, which correspond with major transformations in the globalisation of the Atlantic World, and analyses how and to what extent globalisation forces from above and from below influenced the development and exchange of knowledge. Davids distinguishes three forms of globalising forces 'from above'; imperial, commercial and religious, alongside self-organisation, the globalising force 'from below'. Exploring how globalisation advanced and its relationship with knowledge changed over time, this book bridges global, maritime, intellectual and economic history to reflect on the role of the oceans in making the world a more connected place.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Karel Davids\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350142131\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350142138\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/28\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 344\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.44lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.81d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2021","brand":"Karel Davids","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48088083824895,"sku":"9781350142138","price":135.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d3c64b9f-318c-497f-9fcf-17c659ff3081.jpg?v=1769103016","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/global-ocean-of-knowledge-1660-1860-karel-davids-9781350142138","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
