Reviews
Geographers should read this book. As our discipline embraces a 'mobilities turn' and acknowledges the burden of sedentarist thinking in a fluid world, Brown and Humberstone potentially take us beyond our comfort zone into a post-terrestrial geography. - New Zealand Geographer, Robin Kearns, The University of Auckland
'How do we engage with the sea? How does it permeate our lives and impact how we think and feel? Bringing together a rich collection of embodied, emotional and sensuous ethnographic narratives, this book is as close as you might get to being at sea from the comfort of your armchair. Thoroughly enjoyable and an important contribution to the literature.' Kimberley Peters, Aberystwyth University, UK

Thoroughly enjoyable and an important contribution to the literature.a (TM) Kimberley Peters, Aberystwyth University, UK a A landmark book, Seascapes captures our intimacy with the ocean by exploring how we penetrate the natural world, and vice versa. The authors draw on multiple voices, theories and perspectives, and engage with the ocean in passionate and perceptive narratives that radically recast the sea as a dynamic, living, affective and sentient place.a (TM) Douglas Booth, University of Otago, New Zealand a Brown and Humberstonea (TM)s volume, Seascapes, explores the imaginative, aesthetic and embodied experiences through which people engage with the sea. Through fascinating and diverse auto-ethnographic accounts of surfing, sailing, swimming and, above all, thinking and feeling with the sea, it illuminates the complexities of this vital human-non-human relationship.a (TM) Veronica Strang, Durham University, UK
