Krátky popis
Discover the epic history of human exploration and migration, and
the stories of fearless pioneers the world over, with this stunning
tour of history - map by map. Charting everything from the movement
of early Homo species out of Africa some 1.8 million years ago to
the astonishing voyages of Polynesian sailors across the Pacific
from 4,000 BCE, and from the California Gold Rush to the Race for
Space, entries explain the movements of people and cultures who set
off into the unknown - in search of adventure or a better life.
Specially commissioned maps show the key driving factors of each
journey, and why certain routes were chosen over others - whether
due to climate, terrain, or territory - while stunning contemporary
examples offer fascinating insights into the unique world-views and
political motivations of the people who commissioned them, and the
cartographers who created them.The voyages of history’s greatest
explorers - from Zheng He to Ibn Battuta and Marco Polo - are
brought to vivid life with accompanying photos, illustrations, and
original artefacts, along with recent missions to chart the depths
of the oceans and the surface of Mars. And entries also explore the
experiences of established Indigenous groups and the impact of
settler populations. Packed with fascinating detail and bursting
with lavish illustrations, Exploration: Map by Map is a must-have
title for anyone who loves maps, history, or the pioneering spirit.
