Maritime history as a sub-discipline is strong on highly-specialist and tightly-focussed research, rather less so on this kind of work: we need more of it. Jamieson has done a good job in ‘zooming out’ here … While established specialists in the field will no doubt regard it as a useful and interesting work, those looking for a broader coverage will find, as I did, that this is a splendid ‘one-stop-shop’, saving them several inches of bookshelf space … I commend it to everyone except nostalgic Brits with suppressed suicidal tendencies.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eAndrew Jarvis, \u003ci\u003eThe Northern Mariner\u003c\/i\u003e XIII\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVanishing Fleets: Shipping 1918-1990\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLosing the Market: Shipbuilding 1918-1990\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBreaking with the Past: Ports 1918-1990\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaritime Opportunity?: North Sea Oil and Gas 1964-1990\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Liverpool University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49406344266071,"sku":"9780859897280","price":109.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780859897280.jpg?v=1730495472","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/ebb-tide-in-the-british-maritime-industries-change-and-adaptation-19181990-9780859897280","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
