Het uiterlijk van een platvis heeft op het eerste gezicht weinig vissigs. Niks kegelvormige kop en torpedovorm. Het lijkt wel of iemand een schelvis de ogen uitrukte, hem daarna op zn zij legde, er een paar maal flink met een deegroller overheen ging, de ogen weer op de bovenkant terugzette en er tot slot wat oranje verf op spatte. Het resultaat is een gestippeld tapijtje met twee gesteelde knopjes erop en een wat rafelige rand. Schol is een van de populairste vissen in Europa. Eeuwenlang is gedacht dat de voorraad in zee onuitputtelijk was, hoeveel vis we ook consumeerden. Maar niets is minder waar. Zonder strikt beheer zou de schol, evenals vele andere zeedieren, verdwijnen uit de Noordzee. 'Schol in de Noordzee' beschrijft de wonderlijke levensloop van deze platvis - zijn geboorte, gedaanteverwisseling, leefgewoonten, voortplanting - maar is tegelijkertijd een gedetailleerde geschiedenis van de Noordzee, de Nederlandse visserij en het visserijonderzoek. En natuurlijk komt de vraag die tegenwoordig zo belangrijk is uitgebreid aan de orde: is een duurzame bevissing van schol en andere vissoorten mogelijk en zo ja, welke maatregelen moeten daarvoor genomen worden? Zonder vooringenomenheid worden alle aspecten van een van de grootste ecologische uitdagingen van onze tijd behandeld.

A superb piece of local history. Professor Mark Bailey, University of East Anglia.

Lowestoft became an increasingly important Suffolk town during the later middle ages. This book traces its history from its Anglo-Saxon origins up until its fully recognisable urban nature in the first half of the sixteenth century. During that time, notable changes occurred in its social, economic and topographical structure, all of which are investigated here; the picture which emerges is one of small beginnings which eventually led (following the township's relocation to a new site) to a position of local pre-eminence.
Two important elements in Lowestoft's overall development were its surface geology and coastal location, and due account is taken of these influences. So is its comparative freedom from outside interference in its affairs by having a far-distant, absentee manorial lord. Added to these factors was proximity to the port of Great Yarmouth, whose late medieval difficulties (access to the harbour and effective control of local waters) were very much to Lowestoft's advantage in developing its own maritime activity. From being a mere outlier to the Lothingland hub-manor at the time of Domesday, the town gradually became not only a notable coastal station in local terms, but one which was directly connected with various ports on the continent of Western Europe. For a community of only moderate size, it had broad and wide-ranging associations. Particular attention is paid to the town's magnificent church, and to its fishing industry.

David Butcher is a retired Lowestoft schoolteacher and former lecturer in the Continuing Studies Department at the University of East Anglia. He has published widely on the local history of the Lowestoft area.
