AGE OF THE GALLEY by Morrison
Over 100 maritime historians and specialists chart the development of the galley from the earliest paleolithic craft to the classical trireme and its Roman and Byzantine successors. Essays are also included on more general aspects such as material resources, battle tactics and exploration.
'The work that gave me most pleasure [last year] was undoubtedly the on-going Conway's History of the Ship.. intoxicating' Jan Morris in The Independent
Professor John Morrison, a distinguished classical scholar and past President of Wolfson College, Cambridge, is probably the world's leading authority on ancient oared craft. He was a leading light in the Olympias trireme project, for which he provided the academic research, and is the co-author (with R T Williams) of Greek Oared Ships, and (with John Coates) of The Athenian Trireme and Greek and Roman Oared Ships.
