# ADVENTURES IN MAPS

![ADVENTURES IN MAPS](https://libreriadelmare.it/wp-content/uploads/adventures-in-maps-debbie-hall-bodleian-library-publishing.jpg)

The **twenty intriguing journeys and routes** featured in this book range from distances of a few miles to great adventures across land, sea, air and space. Some describe the route that a traveller followed, some are the results of **exploration** and others were made to show future travellers the way to go, accompanied by useful and sometimes **very beautiful maps**.

**Sea charts** bring to life the Sixteenth-Century adventures of **Richard Hawkins **sailing to South America, the surveys carried out by **Captain James Cook** and the historic sailing route followed by **Naomi James**, pioneering solo yachtswoman of the 1970s. An early strip atlas illustrates the road journeys of **Daniel Defoe** and America’s iconic Route 66 is shown in an incredibly detailed mid-Twentieth Century map. Also featured are the stories of the **Arctic explorations** needed to enable a Great Circle route by air over Greenland, the archaeological expeditions of **David Hogarth** along the Euphrates and **Aurel Stein** on the Silk Road, pilgrims making their way across Europe, **Thomas Cook**’s first package tour, the first flight from London to Manchester and the surveys of the Moon that ultimately facilitated the first landing.

These inspirational accounts are drawn from** diaries, letters, memoirs and travelogues**: all illustrated with fascinating maps.
