Place reservation for The edge of the world : how the North Sea made us who we are'The Edge of the World' is a groundbreaking 1000-year history that shows how Northern Europe and the North Sea helped to forge the modern world. Overturning many common assumptions - of discrete nations divided by their borders; of the primacy of the Mediterranean in the shaping of European culture; of a pre-enlightenment 'dark ages' - author Michael Pye draws on a wide breadth of source material to bring to life a vast sweep of history populated with intimate encounters and lively personalities.
