Abstract
perspectives. Furthermore, The Inland Seas covers a broad chronological span; thus, readers are accompanied along a diachronic route, becoming witnesses of the changes that have occurred in the perception (and subsequent exploitation) of the sea. The chronological arrangement of the contributions allows readers to detect clearly how the sea – due to its status as a freely usable resource – gradually suffered from overexploitation, which ultimately made it necessary to regulate and limit access to it. We are still living with and learning how to deal with the consequences of this process, and this is why eco-history in general, and this book in particular, is currently so relevant.
