This is a book about expedition, adventure, our thirst for
knowledge and pushing the limits of human endurance. From the
navigational instruments that have led us through unknown lands, to
the advanced engineering that carried us into the depths of the
ocean, to the rocket science that propelled us into space, science
and adventure have always been inextricably linked. Both are at the
heart of everything we now know about the complex universe we find
ourselves in. From the groundbreaking sea voyage in 1735 that
settled the debate raging between Descartes and Newton about the
shape of the earth to the balloon ride that led to the discovery of
cosmic rays, we have pushed the limits of what's possible, both on
our planet and beyond the clouds. The Little Book of Big
Explorations is a collection of some of the most daring and
eye-opening adventures in history that have changed the way we view
the world, as well as a look at what's still to be discovered. Our
insatiable curiosity has driven our survival as a species and can
be charted through the centuries by these incredible voyages of
discovery.
