Forbes published a nice new review of my latest book: https://www.forbes.com/sites/brucedorminey/2025/01/23/new-book-offers-reality-check-on-sea-level-rise/
“In a revelatory new book, Sea Level: A History, author Wilko Graf von Hardenberg, […], deftly chronicles just how difficult it was to come up with a standard method of measuring mean sea level. In the process, Hardenberg gives us a richly detailed yet very accessible history of how over five centuries, the concept of measuring mean sea level was a painstaking process that advanced in fits and starts.” -

Just read Steve Mentz's new "Introduction to the #BlueHumanities" --- a good overview of theoretical approaches in the field and an inspiration for future research. According to Mentz, Blue Humanities "explore the many ways humans engage with #water". It's also interesting to explore when and how a certain #research perspective (like "water-centric thinking") becomes a discipline or an interdisciplinary community of scholars that pursue a shared objective. #AcademicBooks

In 1752, John Bond, a doctor in London proposed adopting Polybius' description of a ballista for whaling. He even built a ballista and sent it to the Royal Academy, claiming that it would give Britain an edge over Dutch whalers. He jubilantly wrote that one gun was equal to 100 harpooners, but that these laborers would resist the invention because they had "strong prejudice against all improvements."

Hi everyone, an #introduction. I'm an academic researching in environmental humanities: energy, oceans, and infrastructure studies mostly (but not only) in 19th C US literary studies and visual culture. Book RENDERED OBSOLETE: ENERGY CULTURE AND THE AFTERLIFE OF US WHALING forthcoming in 2023. I also want to talk about shipping, logistics, environmental media, art, Moby-Dick, and the ocean. #envhum #C19studies #victodon #bluehumanities #infrastructure #energy #climatechange #envhist #energyhum
