Through uninterrupted monitoring for one and a half years with the aid of modern science, this book proves that "Dokdo is seen from Ulleungdo", a statement recorded in the Korean history. Written by researchers from three disciplines - history, international law and meteorology, the authors of this book discuss the meanings of the fact that 'Dokdo is seen from Ulleungdo' in terms of history, international law and meteorology. The research, which was carried out on objective data by a group of scholars from different disciplines, is expected to strengthen the base logic for our sovereign right to Dokdo. Readers of this book will understand that Dokdo is not just a group of islands floating alone in the middle of East Sea, but does exist in close historical and cultural relationships with Ulleungdo. Indeed, Dokdo has been with Koreans since long long time ago. It has been our friend in our ordinary life, neighbour and a place for our lives.
