Half Cloth with dust jacket. Zustand: Gut. XI, 507 p.: Ill., Maps. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Trad…ition (IJCT). - Schutzumschlag bestoßen und verschmutzt, Kopfschnitt stockfleckig, vereinzelt Notizen und Anstreichungen im Text, sonst guter Zustand / dust jacket scuffed and soiled, top edge foxed, occasional notes and annotations in text, otherwise good condition. - An updated edition of the classic, much- praised history of cartography that traces thVadvejmires, discoveries, and feats of technical ingenuity by which mapmakers over the centuries have charted the surface of the globe, the Earths interior, the ocean floors, and finally the Moon and the nearby planets of our solar system. John Noble Wilford chronicles the exploits of the great pioneers in mapmaking: the remarkably sophisticated silk maps of ancient China; the work of medieval cartographers who, relying on the stories of pilgrims and travelers, depicted imaginary realms and the fearsome monsters said to inhabit them; the contributions of Columbus, Magellan, and Cook (whose precise charting of the Pacific set the standard for years to come); the legacy of the extraordinary Cassini family of France, who, over four generations, completed the first topographic survey of an entire country; the expeditions of John Charles Fremont and John Wesley Powell, which produced the first maps of the American West and the Colorado River; and the modern-day achievements of those who have set out to explore still unknown realms: Antarctica, the mountains of the sea, the Moon, Mars, and Venus. Wilford tells the dramatic story of how, through the ages, technologycompasses, sextants, theodolites, cameras, airplanes, radar, sonar, computers, seismic probes, lasers, satelliteshas transformed the way we see and measure our world. He details the innovations, from John Harrisons eighteenth-century marine chronometer, which enabled navigators to calculate longitude at sea, to the Pentagons Global Positioning System (GPS), now used as widely by civilians as by the military to pinpoint the bearers exact location on the globe. With three new chapters, more maps and illustrations, and many revisions and amplifications, this edition reflects the great changes that have taken place in mapmaking in the past two decades. Wilford shows how these advances have made possible a precision and range in mapping never before imagined, and how they have led to new and vital applications: locating mineral, energy, and freshwater resources; identifying pollution and other environmental hazards; uncovering precious archaeological treasures; and plotting the terrain of our neighboring planets. A fascinating account of mans inventiveness and limitless curiosity, The Mapmakers is the definitive book on our continuing quest to chart the vast unknown.
