To sail the oceans needed skill as well as courage and experience,
and the sea chart with, where appropriate, the coastal view, was
the tool by which ships of trade, transport or conquest navigated
their course. This book looks at the history and development of the
chart and the related nautical map, in both scientific and
aesthetic terms, as a means of safe and accurate seaborne
navigation. The Italian merchant-venturers of the early thirteenth
century developed the earliest 'portulan' pilot charts of the
Mediterranean. The subsequent speed of exploration by European
seafarers, encompassing the New World, the extraordinary voyages
around the Cape of Good Hope and the opening up of the trade to the
East, India and the Spice Islands were both a result of the
development of the sea chart and additionally as an aid to that
development. By the eighteenth century the discovery and charting
of the coasts and oceans of the globe had become a strategic naval
and commercial requirement. Such involvements led to Cook's voyages
in the Pacific, the search for the Northwest Passage and races to
the Arctic and Antarctic. The volume is arranged along
chronological and then geographical lines. Each of the ten chapters
is split into two distinct halves examining the history of the
charting of a particular region and the context under which such
charting took place following which specific navigational charts
and views together with other relevant illustrations are presented.
Key figures or milestones in the history of charting are then
presented in stand-alone story box features. This new edition
features around 40 new charts and accompanying text.

Secret Anchorages of Brittany provides concise pilotage directions
for practically all the natural anchorages along the Brittany
coast, from the Bay of Mont St Michel round to the great estuary of
the Loire.As with the first edition, the anchorages start near Cap
de la Hague on the Cotentin Peninsula and include Iles Chausey. The
book enters Brittany waters near Cancale and follows the whole
300-mile coastline, with its rivers, estuaries and offshore
islands, looking into every nook and cranny on the way. This
stylish second edition includes many new anchorages and is lavishly
illustrated in colour, while the anchorage charts have been redrawn
and verified against the Admiralty or French SHOM charts.The
pilotage sections are peppered with short features on the maritime
traditions, life and history of this inimitable coast. Peter
Cumberlidge is a well known writer and photographer who cruises
widely under sail and power. He always returns to Brittany with
affection and the new Secret Anchorages reflects his sympathy for
this fabulous cruising area, the people who live here and the
superlative seafood for which the coast is justly renowned.
Spherical trigonometry was at the heart of astronomy and
ocean-going navigation for two millennia. The discipline was a
mainstay of mathematics education for centuries, and it was a
standard subject in high schools until the 1950s. Today, however,
it is rarely taught. "Heavenly Mathematics" traces the rich history
of this forgotten art, revealing how the cultures of classical
Greece, medieval Islam, and the modern West used spherical
trigonometry to chart the heavens and the Earth. Glen Van Brummelen
explores this exquisite branch of mathematics and its role in
ancient astronomy, geography, and cartography; Islamic religious
rituals; celestial navigation; polyhedra; stereographic projection;
and more. He conveys the sheer beauty of spherical trigonometry,
providing readers with a new appreciation for its elegant proofs
and often surprising conclusions.
"Heavenly Mathematics" is illustrated throughout with stunning
historical images and informative drawings and diagrams that have
been used to teach the subject in the past. This unique compendium
also features easy-to-use appendixes as well as exercises at the
end of each chapter that originally appeared in textbooks from the
eighteenth to the early twentieth centuries.
On this July 2016 edition the latest information on firing practice
