| Opplysninger | "This volume of papers arises from a national conference organised by the Centre for Maritime Historical Studies at Exeter University and held at Dartington Hall, Totnes in October 1993". -- Siste ytre omslagsside. - Leisure studies have become an increasingly important area of research within social history. In six original essays and an introduction by established historians, Recreation and the sea focuses on the theme of the sea and leisure activities in England and Continental Europe.Review: Taken together the papers in this volume give a good impression of the wide range of issues relating to maritime recreation that are currently engaging scholars. Different as they may be, the papers are all based on thorough historic research in a variety of different sources. The result is a combination of well-argued corrections to traditional views and new knowledge in hitherto unknown areas. I can strongly recommend this book both as a good example of historic craftmanship and as a most inspiring study of maritime leisure activities. International Journal of Maritime History [This book] is nicely presented with clear crisp text, good diagrams and relevant photographs. It is also well priced and provides much food for thought and new ideas .... - PROV.RECORD
