![]() ![]() I learned a lot from Kurlansky’s book entitled Cod. Kurlansky’s book positions the centrality of Atlantic Cod in the history of Eastern Canada, New England, Iceland, Great Britain, the Caribbean, the Basque region of Spain, and other areas of the Atlantic World. Kurlansky’s book situates the fishing of Atlantic Cod as a major part of the history of the Atlantic World from the days of the Norse until the 1990s (Kurlansky 19-20). Kurlansky’s book entitled Cod covers the history of human interaction with Atlantic Cod from early Medieval Europe until the population of Atlantic Cod collapses in the late 20th Century. ![]() ![]() Kurlansky’s book is similar to the Historian Mark Essig’s cultural history of pigs, Lesser Beasts: A Snout-to-Tail History of the Humble Pig. The book is a cultural, social, and economic history of Atlantic Cod (Gadus Morhua). The American non-fiction writer Mark Kurlansky published Cod: A Biography of the Fish That Changed the World in 1997. ![]()
