This volume traces the history of this risk management tool from its origins in the pre-Roman Mediterranean through to its use in the shipping sector today. Contributions range from the Islamic Mediterranean to the Low Countries, and taken together, provide a wide-ranging analysis of social, cultural, and political aspects of pre-modern maritime commerce in Europe. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Palgrave MacMillan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45034887872663,"sku":"9783031041204","price":2938.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783031041204.webp?v=1769211159","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/general-average-and-risk-management-in-medieval-and-early-modern-maritime-business-9783031041204","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
