Three black and white map plates. Six charts. "The political basis of British sea power in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries was the navigation system. The primary object of this system of laws was the increase of British power through the extension of overseas trade.

New English Paperback. Pbo. 4to. (30 x 21 cm). In English. 605 p., b/w ills. The present volume seeks primarily to present a heterogeneous and extensive assessment of the state-of-the art in international maritime history, perceived from various points of view, giving priority to the analysis and interpretation of new archival documentation that was previously unknown, or little explored. The aim of this publication is thus to add, as much as possible, to the general body of knowledge in global maritime history, and to contribute to a substantial reflection on Turkish maritime history. A collection of fifty-seven articles offers various written and iconographic sources, with explanatory texts, both of European and non-European origin, with a natural accent in micro-history studies. The chronological approach that was followed was rather broad, affording some emphasis on the lower medieval period, and the early modern and contemporary era. Complementary studies explore earlier periods where the foundations of seapower, supported by advances in technology and gains in trade, were laid for history in the making.

New English Paperback. Small 4to. (27 x 19 cm). In English. [x], 228 p. Strategic approaches for maritime industries in Poland and Turkey. Maritime industry, one of the most international fields, inevitably desires global co-operations. Aware of this fact Dokuz Eylul University School of Maritime Business and Management and University of Gdansk Institute of Maritime Transport and Seaborne Trade have collaborated and this book is one of the fruitful results of this collaboration. This joint publication constitutes various studies and researches of the staff members from the two institutions and it provides a strategic point of view for the Polish and Turkish maritime industries. The overall aim is to contribute to the international safety and quality approaches, competitiveness and performance development in the maritime field. The histories of Poland and Turkey present numerous examples of constructive co-operations and this work is the first as a joint publication of the academicians from the two countries. The global feature of the maritime industry has provided a strong base for this opportunity and the study is presented to the attention of the maritime community with the belief of enhancing the international inheritance.
