Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wrecked on a Reef in the China Sea: Incidents of Danger, Privation and RescueThe China Sea, as all navigators of its waters know, is full of deceitful currents and thronged with dangerous shoals. To the southward of the Island of Formosa is a small island lying in the course of vessels bound down the Chinese coast, called Pratas Island. The Chinese fishermen resort thither when fish are plenty, during the Spring only. At the highest point the elevation is not more than thirty feet, crowned with scrubby brushwood some ten feet high. The shape is that of a horse shoe, enclosing an inlet of about a half mile in depth, which affords shelter to the Chinese junks. Beyond a channel of deep water which skirts the island a coral reef of varying breadth encircles all, with a circumference of full forty miles. Many a noble ship has laid her bones thereon, and our best care was taken to avoid the danger that was here presented.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last few decades there has been growing recognition of the importance of a peaceful and stable South China Sea for Indo-Pacific security and development, a recognition that has been underlain, paradoxically, by the increasingly precarious situation in this body of water that straddles critical shipping lanes from the Indian to the Pacific Ocean. This book informs its readership of the most recent developments in the South China Sea with insightful and prescient analyses from both legal and international relations perspectives. It delves into the policy perspectives and deliberations of the various relevant regional and extra-regional actors in the South China Sea dispute, the exercise of international law in the context of the changing regional political landscape, and the promise and pitfalls of past, current, and potential initiatives to manage and settle the dispute. Written by some of the most well-known scholars and knowledgeable insiders in the fields South China Sea studies, the collection offers a wide array of diverse views that should help enrich the ongoing global discussion on conflict management and resolution in the South China Sea.
