New maritime histories offer fresh approaches to the study of global regions, and to long-distance and long-term connections. Cambridge Oceanic Histories includes studies across whole oceans (the Pacific, the Indian, the Atlantic) and particular seas (among them, the Mediterranean, the Caribbean, the North Sea, the Black Sea). The series is global in geography, ecumenical in historical method, and wide in temporal coverage, intended as a key repository for the most innovative transnational and world histories over the longue durée. It brings maritime history into productive conversation with other strands of historical research, including environmental history, legal history, intellectual history, labour history, cultural history, economic history and the history of science and technology. The editors invite studies that analyse the human and natural history of the world's oceans and seas from anywhere on the globe and from any and all historical periods"-- Provided by publisher Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Description based on online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on July 29, 2022) Subject Commerce SUBJECT Tanganyika, Lake -- History -- 19th century Africa, Eastern -- History -- 19th century Africa, Eastern -- Commerce -- History Indian Ocean Region -- History -- 19th century Indian Ocean Region -- Commerce -- History Subject Africa -- Lake Tanganyika Eastern Africa Indian Ocean Region Genre/Form Electronic books History Form Electronic book LC no. 2022010296 ISBN 9781009122023 1009122029 9781009302487 1009302485
