An interesting, illustrated detail history of fishing from its earliest periods. These date back to the ancient times, and Radcliffe integrates not only written accounts from these times from different regions, but also the artwork of these eras that depict the cultural relevance of fishing. An interesting history not only for those interested in sports and fishing history, but also for anyone interested in ancient and Classical history.
