The book unveils the ocean's depths, revealing its impact on globalization, cultural exchange, and the rise of maritime empires.

It uniquely focuses on diverse perspectives, including those of explorers, traders, enslaved people, and scientists, offering a nuanced understanding of the Atlantic's impact on human societies.
