Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a rich compendium of information about the seas, coasts, islands, and dangers of the China Sea region, including parts of Korea, Russia, Tartary, Japan, the Kuril Islands, and many other island groups. While its focus is navigational, it includes much of historical and scientific interest. The author was an active and renowned surveyor and navigator, and a trusted friend of many Japanese contacts in the mid to late 19th century, so the book's context is one of first-hand experience and scientific surveying at the time the world was being opened up to more robust global trade and relationships. The result is a book not only of navigational importance, but also of great interest to anyone curious about these regions and their complex histories and geographies.
