Exploring the ocean

| Summary/Abstract |
Uses of the Ocean traces humankind's dependence on oceans through the ages, looking back to the earliest explorers and examining the surprising ways we use the sea in everyday life. Humans have harnessed the power of the sea for transportation, fishing, mining, and tidal power and seen fantastic developments - as well as tragic disasters. This volume investigates myths about the ocean, our desire to explore and improve, and asks what damage human exploration is having on the oceans.Uses of the Ocean has answers to questions such as:
* Who were Jason and the Argonauts?
* What ocean did Vasco Da Gama explore?
* What happens when an oil tanker spills into the ocean?
