BRIEF HISTORY OF THE COAST IN 100 OBJECTS (HB)

Through the lens of 100 carefully selected objects, this treasure chest of a book delves into the myriad ways our coastlines have shaped, and been shaped by, our histories, cultures, and identities. From Roman lighthouses to rosary beads, knitted jumpers to Viking slave shackles, each object serves as a portal to a story. And, looking out to sea, this book will show how Britain’s story is anchored to those of our European neighbours and of faraway lands.
