Chile y la Soberania en el Mar. By Sergion Teitelboim V. 1966 Editorial Andres Bello, Chile. 7.5x5”, 219 p. Rarely found. A note from the previous owner, “This book contains the basis for the 200 mile limit for territorial seas, first claimed by Chile, then by Peru and finally by all nations except the U.S., Russia, Norway and a few others. The reason: Chile once had a thriving whaling industry that was decimated by Russian whalers whose oceanographic research vessels discovered a concentration of whales and published their findings on a map using miles instead of kilometers as was then nearly universally the custom. Chile then proclaimed their territorial seas extended out 200 miles and prohibited all others (including the Russians) from exploiting all natural resources within this zone.” (Nice condition : Cover and spine slightly darkened, cover edges bumped where they overhang the page block. Edge of page block lightly speckled. Pages bright, binding good). ac $74
