Told for the very first time, this is the true story of the
adventure that shaped the world . . . 'A thrilling story of
courage, survival and science. It's an extraordinary, visceral and
vivid read' Geographical Magazine ________ Three hundred years ago
no one knew the true shape of the world. It wasn't a sphere - but
did it bulge at the equator or was it pointed at the poles? Until
we found out no map could ever be truly accurate. So a team of
scientists was sent to South America - to measure one full degree
of latitude. But South America was a land of erupting volcanoes,
sodden rainforests, earthquakes, deadly diseases, tropical storms
and violent unrest. And the misfit scientists had an unfortunate
tendency to squander funds, fight duels, stumble into mutinies or
die horribly. The tale of their ten-year odyssey of exploration,
discovery, flirtations with failure and ultimate triumph becomes in
Nicholas Crane's hands the greatest scientific adventure story ever
told. ________ 'Pace, rigour and attention to enticing detail . . .
Crane has a rare knack for showing people things without them
having to get out of their chair' Joe Smith, director of The Royal
Geographic society
