Abstract
"Ocean: A History of the Atlantic Before Columbus" by John Haywood and "Tracks on the Ocean: A History of Trailblazing, Maps and Maritime Travel" by Sara Caputo explore the human fascination with oceans and maritime exploration. Haywood delves into the prehistoric settlement patterns around the Atlantic, focusing on the Vikings and European imperialism, while Caputo examines the evolution of ship tracks on maps as tools of navigation, narrative, and national pride. Both authors offer unique perspectives on the historical significance of oceanic exploration and cartography, shedding light on the motivations and complexities of early seafaring journeys."
