''The Oxford Encyclopedia of Maritime History'', John B. Hattendorf, editor in chief, was published by Oxford University Press in 2007. The work was issued in four volumes in print and online in the (Oxford Digital Library ). The encyclopedia is devoted to global maritime history and contains some 1.6 million words in more than 950 articles written by more than 400 authors in nearly 50 different countries. In summarizing its contents, Oxford University Press states that The Encyclopedia covers the entire history of seafaring, from ancient Egyptian shipbuilders to the nuclear submarines and supertankers of today. Over nine hundred articles written by leading historians examine all aspects of maritime history, including naval history, shipbuilding, biographies of major figures, navigation and scientific instrumentation, maritime art and literature, commerce and economics, and international law. Placing maritime affairs in their larger historical context, the Encyclopedia shows how seafaring has both reflected and influenced the major economic, cultural, military, and political developments in world history.〔OUP publicity information〕 ==Awards== * Professional and Scholarly Publishing Division (PSP) of the Association of American Publishers 2007 Awards for Excellence: Honorable Mention in the "Best of Multivolume Reference" Category〔http://www.pspcentral.org/index.cfm?left=awards&page=/home/awards.cfm〕 * ''Library Journal'' Best Reference of 2007〔http://www.libraryjournal.com/article/CA6547055.html?q=Oxford+Encyclopedia+of+Maritime〕 * North American Society for Oceanic History's 2007 John Lyman Book Award in the Reference Category〔http://www.nasoh.org/BookAwards.htm〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Oxford Encyclopedia of Maritime History」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
