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.
