Chernoe more - Asherson N.

"In the book, I hold the idea that the Black Sea - its peoples and coastal regions, its fish, its waters and its immensely deep history - is a single cultural landscape." Asherson systematically and pedanticically shows all aspects of the formation of this "cultural landscape." From The Swimming of Yason at the Golden Rune to the latest political, economic and environmental transformations. How fishing was born and who inhabited coastal lands in different eras, what main goods were brought with them from the voyage to the shores of the Black Sea Mycenaean traders and why it was through these "sea gates" penetrated into Europe "black death", what danger lurks at a depth of below 150 - 200 meters and why it can lead to the largest ecological disaster in the history of human civilization.
