Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Our Heritage the Sea The idea of writing a book, which within the narrow limits demanded by the hard-pressed reader of to-day should give a comprehensive view of the various aspects of our heritage the sea has been present to my mind ever since I first dared to address the public on sea matters. I do not believe that it can be possible for any one to feel more deeply than I do the urgent necessity of awakening our people generally to the importance of the ocean to them, and certainly no one can more sadly realize the difficulty of the task. For not only is the subject an enormous one, embracing as it does every department of science and political economy, but in its exposition a writer must calculate upon meeting with that terrible dead weight of apathy, of taking things for granted, which is characteristic of the British people generally. There is only one advantage obvious in the treatment of this great subject - its freedom from controversial topics, the discussion of which is so often attended with a bitterness that obscures the vital points at issue. On the other hand the general reader is very prone to fight shy of books upon the sea which are not avowedly fiction, fearing the introduction of technicalities which he cannot understand, and of which he will not take the trouble to ascertain the meaning.
