About This Book

El autor ofrece una panorámica del mar desde la orilla y sus estados, combinando historia natural, mitología y experiencia humana: impresiones iniciales de miedo y asombro, paisajes costeros, mareas y tempestades, y la vida de los faros. Traza la génesis marina y la biodiversidad, desde orígenes microscópicos hasta moluscos, crustáceos, peces y ballenas, y examina las técnicas humanas para explotar y enfrentarse al océano, incluyendo la caza, la navegación, las travesías polares y el derecho marítimo. Finalmente reflexiona sobre la renovación terapéutica y social que aporta el baño en el mar y su capacidad para restaurar la belleza, la fraternidad y la vitalidad.
