更好地了解法国海事出版物的质量和数量发展所发挥的关键作用。“海洋书籍”扩大了知识和想象的视野,越来越多的受过教育的读者对航行和探索遥远的土地感兴趣。它们促成了一种新的、不那么敌对和可怕的海洋观的出现。这里所描述的启蒙运动的世纪是人类对海洋日益“控制”的世纪。这些书籍还为海洋专业人员,无论是文职人员还是军事人员、海军建筑师、制图员、医生还是船长,提供了越来越有效的工具,他们将越来越依赖这些工具来指导他们的工作。
to understand better the crucial role played by the qualitative and quantitative development of maritime publications in France. "Maritime books" expanded the intellectual and imaginary horizons of the growing ranks of an educated readership interested in voyages and the exploration of distant lands. They contributed to the emergence of a new, less hostile and frightening vision of the sea. The century of Enlightenment described here is one of increasing human "control" of the sea. These books also provided professionals of the sea, whether civil or military, naval architects, cartographers, physicians or captains, with increasingly efficient tools on which they would rely more and more heavily to guide them in all steps of their work.
