THE SHAPE OF THE EARTH AND GEOGRAPHICAL EXPLORATION. 330 $aThis book tells the comprehensive history of cosmography from the 15th Century Age of Discovery onward. During this time, cosmography?a science that combined geography and astronomy to inform us about our place in the universe?was deeply tied to ongoing developments in politics, exploration, culture, and technology. The book offers in-depth historical context over nearly four centuries, focusing in particular on the often neglected role that Portugal and Spain played in the development of cosmography. It details the great activity emerging from the Iberian and Italic peninsulas, including numerous voyagers of exploration, a clear commercial intention, and advancements in map-making techniques. In doing so, it provides a unique perspective on the ?Longitude problem? not available in most other literature on the topic. Rigorously researched and sweeping in scope, this book will serve as an invaluable source for historians and readers interested in the history of science, of astronomy, and of exploration from a southern European perspective. 410 0$aHistorical & Cultural Astronomy,$x2509-3118 606 $aPhysics?History 606 $aAstronomy?Observations 606 $aScience?History 606 $aEurope?History 606 $aHistory of Physics and Astronomy 606 $aAstronomy, Observations and Techniques 606 $aHistory of Science 606 $aEuropean History 610 $aAstronomy 610 $aScience 615 0$aPhysics?History. 615 0$aAstronomy?Observations. 615 0$aScience?History. 615 0$aEurope?History. 615 14$aHistory of Physics and Astronomy. 615 24$aAstronomy, Observations and Techniques. 615 24$aHistory of Science. 615 24$aEuropean History. 676 $a523.109 676 $a523.109 700 $aBarrado Navascués$b David$01362822 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910728386503321 996 $aCosmography in the Age of Discovery and the Scientific Revolution$93382353 997 $aUNINA
