Description
Fishing: How the Sea Fed Civilization by Brian M. Fagan is a history that explores the significance of fishing in human civilization. Archaeologist and writer Brian Fagan argues that fishing played a crucial role in the development of cities, empires, and ultimately the modern world. In this book, Fagan examines how fishing provided a sustainable source of food, allowing for the growth of cities and nations. However, unlike agriculture, which promoted stability, fishing required travel, trade, and movement. The technologies developed for fishing, centered on boats, facilitated journeys of discovery and enabled the transportation of dried and salted fish, a nutritious and long-lasting food source ideal for traders, travelers, and conquering armies. Fagan tours archaeological sites worldwide to illustrate how fishing fed the development of cities, empires, and ultimately the modern world.
