Told for the very first time, this is the story of the adventure that
shaped the world.
By knowing the shape of our earth we can create maps, survive the
oceans, follow rivers, navigate the skies, and travel across the globe.
This is the story of our world, of how we discovered what no one
thought possible - the shape of the earth.
A thrilling and page-turning account of the first major expedition by
data gatherers and qualified observers to interior Peru, to discover
the shape and magnitude of the earth. Until humanity discovered this it
would be impossible to produce accurate maps and sea charts, without
which thousands of lives would be lost, and exact locations of cities,
roads and rivers would never be known. This fascinating and dramatic
story weaves scientific rigour, egos, funding crises and betrayal with
sea voyages, jungles and volcanoes.
