The Italian merchant-venturers of the early Thirteenth Century developed <strong>the earliest <em>portulan<\/em>&nbsp;pilot charts of the Mediterranean<\/strong>. The subsequent speed of exploration by European seafarers, encompassing <strong>the New World<\/strong>, the extraordinary voyages around the <strong>Cape of Good Hope<\/strong> and the opening up of the trade to <strong>the East, India and the Spice Islands <\/strong>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 <strong>Cook&#8217;s voyages in the Pacific<\/strong>, the search for <strong>the Northwest Passage<\/strong> and races to the <strong>Arctic and Antarctic<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The volume is arranged <strong>along chronological and then geographical lines<\/strong>. Each of the ten chapters is split into two distinct halves examining <strong>the history of the charting <\/strong>of a particular region and <strong>the context<\/strong> under which such charting took place following which specific navigational charts and views together with <strong>other relevant illustrations<\/strong> are presented. <strong>Key figures<\/strong> or <strong>milestones <\/strong>in the history of charting are then presented in stand-alone story box features.<\/p>\n<p>This new edition features around <strong>40 new charts<\/strong> and accompanying text.<\/p>\n<p>Edition: 2016<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"sottotitolo\"><span>Subtitle: <\/span>the illustrated history of nautical maps and navigational charts<\/p>\n<p class=\"autore\"><span>Author: <\/span>john blake<\/p>\n<p class=\"editore\"><span>Publisher: <\/span>conway (bloomsbury publishing)<\/p>\n<p class=\"isbn\"><span>ISBN: <\/span>9781844863143<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":146850,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[2569,2741],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-114134","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-books-navigation-history-chartography","7":"product_cat-navigation-history","9":"first","10":"onbackorder","11":"taxable","12":"shipping-taxable","13":"purchasable","14":"product-type-simple"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.1 (Yoast SEO v27.3) -
