While these books are not about sailing per se they do have a maritime theme running through them. Kurlansky is a very fine writer of , shall we say, popular history. They are not text books but good narratives on quite interesting subjects, if you can believe that a book on the history of salt could be interesting. This dovetails into a subject that I'm sure is dear to heart of any Englishman, Cod.
Salt - A World History
Cod - A History of the Fish that changed the World
The Basque History of the World
The Big Oyster - History on a Half Shell.
(I'm very new here and am taking the stance that books with some maritime theme are relevent to the forum. If I'm wrong please feel free to tell me to pull my head in.)
