Spanning thousands of years, it encompasses stories of murder and betrayal, bravery and corruption; of triads, syndicates, kingmakers, merchants, emperors, generals, spies, and pirates. Consistently praised for his scholarship and his ability to weave multiple strands into a fast-paced narrative, Sterling Seagrave provides us with not only a masterly history, but also a cautionary tale - for the strategies that have proven so successful for the Chinese in the past are just as effective today. Lords of the Rim furnishes a fascinating portal into both the past and the future of the world's Pacific economy ; Contents: Thick Face, Black Heart -- A Stew of hounds -- Sweet Revenge, Eaten Cold -- Elixir of Youth -- The Man Who Discovered Europe -- Children of Yueh -- Sanbao the Sailor -- Chairman of the High Seas -- Part Two: Empire -- 9.

Trade paperback. Zustand: Good. Presumed First Edition. 127 pages, Quarto. Includes Acknowledgments, Introduction, Bibliography, and Index, as well as chapters on Steam Whaling in the Western Arctic, The Design and Construction of Steam Whalers, Ship Biographies, and A Chronological List of Commercial Wintering Voyages, 1850-1910. Also contains Bibliography and Index. Ex-library copy with some of the usual library markings. Arctic historian and archaeologist, John R. Bockstoce has been traveling and working in the North since 1962. He has carried out a series of excavations at Bering Strait and served for ten seasons as a member of an Eskimo whaling crew at Point Hope, Alaska. In the 1970s he descended the Tanana and Yukon rivers by canoe from Fairbanks to Nome and traveled along the coast from there to Barrow Strait in arctic Canada. Later he twice traversed the Northwest Passage by boat. He is the author of many books, monographs, and articles, including Arctic Passages: A Unique Small Boat Voyage through the Great Northern Waterway (1991, 1992), Arctic Discoveries: Images from Voyages of Four Decades in the North (2000), High Latitude, North Atlantic: 30,000 Miles through Cold Seas and History (2003), and the award-winning Whales, Ice and Men: The History of Whaling in the Western Arctic (1986, 1995). The University of Alaska recently conferred on him an honorary Doctor of Science in recognition of his contributions to Arctic studies. The characteristics of the steam whalers and the history of their employment are the subjects of this publication, which was issued with a twofold purpose. It was meant to serve as a catalogue for the special exhibition at the Whaling Museum on "The Age of Steam Whaling in the Western Arctic," and to stand thereafter as a permanent contribution to knowledge about this last significant phase of American whaling history. The four chapters are: Steam Whaling in the Western Arctic by John R. Bockstoce; The Design and Construction of Steam Whalers by William A. Baker; Ship Biographies by Bockstoce; and A Chronological List of Commercial Wintering Voyages, 1850-1910 by Bockstoce and Charles F. Batchelder. Introduction by Richard C. Kugler, director of the New Bedford Whaling Museum. It is interesting to see the advances made with the steam whaling ships and how they were able to hunt the bowhead whales to near extinction. It is even more fascinating to see how modern Inupiat whaling has been influenced by these Yankee practices.…
