Book Synopsis The Great Journeys in History by : Robin Hanbury-Tenison
Download or read book The Great Journeys in History written by Robin Hanbury-Tenison and published by Thames & Hudson. This book was released on 2020-08-06 with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marco Polo, Ferdinand Magellan, David Livingstone, Amelia Earhart, Neil Armstrong: these are some of the greatest travellers of all time. This book chronicles their stories and many more, describing epic voyages of discovery from the extraordinary migrations out of Africa by our earliest ancestors to the latest voyages into space. In antiquity, we follow Alexander the Great to the Indus and Hannibal across the Alps; in medieval times we trek beside Genghis Khan and Ibn Battuta. The Renaissance brought Columbus to the Americas and the circumnavigation of the world. The following centuries saw gaps in the global maps filled by Tasman, Bering and Cook, and journeys made for scientific purposes, most famously by von Humboldt and Darwin. In modern times, the last inhospitable ends of the earth were reached including both poles and the world's highest mountain and new elements were conquered. With evocative photographs, paintings and portraits, The Great Journeys in History reveals the stories of those who were there first, who explored the unexplored and who set out into the unknown, bringing alive the romance and thrill of travel.

Book Synopsis Into the White by : Christopher P. Heuer
Download or read book Into the White written by Christopher P. Heuer and published by Zone Books. This book was released on 2019-05-24 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: European narratives of the Atlantic New World tell stories of people and things: strange flora, wondrous animals, and sun-drenched populations for Europeans to mythologize or exploit. Yet between 1500 and 1700 one region upended all of these conventions in travel writing, science, and, most unexpectedly, art: the Arctic. Icy, unpopulated, visually and temporally “abstract,” the far North – a different kind of terra incognita for the Renaissance imagination – offered more than new stuff to be mapped, plundered, or even seen. Neither a continent, an ocean, nor a meteorological circumstance, the Arctic forced visitors from England, the Netherlands, Germany, and Italy, to grapple with what we would now call a “nonsite,” spurring dozens of previously unknown works, objects, and texts – and this all in an intellectual and political milieu crackling with Reformation debates over art’s very legitimacy. Into the White uses five case studies to probe how the early modern Arctic (as site, myth, and ecology) affected contemporary debates of perception and matter, of representation, discovery, and the time of the earth – long before the nineteenth century romanticized the polar landscape. In the far North, this book contends, the Renaissance exotic became something far stranger than the marvelous or the curious, something darkly material and unmasterable, something beyond the idea of image itself.
Book Synopsis Modern Explorers by : Robin Hanbury-Tenison
Download or read book Modern Explorers written by Robin Hanbury-Tenison and published by Thames & Hudson. This book was released on 2021-11-09 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stories of the thrills and hardships faced by modern expeditions that continue to enhance our understanding of the world around us, now in a compact edition. This book profiles forty modern explorers who have disproved the idea that there is nowhere left to discover. Some are experienced and celebrated worldwide, while others are just starting to make their mark. The Modern Explorers delves into challenging and extraordinary expeditions to the remotest parts of the world by explorers from the United States, Australia, China, France, and beyond. Nine thematic sections cover all terrains: Polar, Desert, Rainforest, Mountain, Ocean, River, Under Sea, Under Land, and Lost Worlds. Written mainly by the explorers themselves, these accounts provide unique insight into what it is like to join an expedition, from being dragged through the top of the rainforest canopy in an inflatable raft suspended from a balloon to pedaling a boat across the Pacific to standing on the edge of an erupting volcano.
Book Synopsis European Explorers for Kids by : Catherine Fet
Download or read book European Explorers for Kids written by Catherine Fet and published by Stratostream LLC. This book was released on 2021-06 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the times of ancient European civilizations, overseas exploration and trade have been an important part of European life and culture. This book tells of the greatest voyages and discoveries - from the Viking Age to the 20th century - in a traditional story-based format. Kids love stories. They may forget the dates and the names of wars and treaties, but they remember the turns and twists of events, the adventures and misadventures of colorful historical figures. The goal of this book is to restore the excitement about history that many kids lose as they drown in the economic and social analysis and criticism that have nearly ousted history from many social studies programs. The historical figures featured in this book are famous for the actual discoveries they made. I did not include the stories of conquerors and adventurers like the Spanish and Portuguese conquistadors famous for conquest rather than exploration. To create a narrative that reads like a sequence of stories, I studied 19th- and early 20th-century story-based history books for kids, and went back to the actual letters, journals, and books written by the famous explorers. Among them are letters of Columbus and Amerigo Vespucci, journals of Captain Cook and Antonio Pigafetta who traveled with Magellan, and books by Marco Polo and Dr. Livingstone. These documents allow my characters to participate in telling their stories using their own words and their own point of view. Here is the list of the historical figures featured in this book: Erik the Red, Leif Eriksson, Marco Polo, Prince Henry the Navigator, Diego Cam, Bartholomeu Dias, Christopher Columbus, Amerigo Vespucci, Vasco da Gama, Ferdinand Magellan, Vitus Bering, James Cook, David Livingstone, Roald Amundsen.
Book Synopsis Explorers of Arabia by : Zahra Freeth
Download or read book Explorers of Arabia written by Zahra Freeth and published by . This book was released on 2017-01-16 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exploration usually demands the qualities of bravery, curiosity and organising ability. Arabia demanded more of the voyager: linguistic ability of a high order, scholarship and an imaginative temperament. It was also necessary to be able to pass as a native, if not of Arabia then of part of the Islamic world. The early explorers faced untold dangers, travelling in a region riven by religious and tribal conflict. This book, first published in 1978, presents the carefully selected accounts of some remarkable travellers, ranging from the Renaissance to the Victorian era, all of whom have added considerably to our knowledge of the history and culture of Arabia.
Book Synopsis The Renaissance in Europe by : Peter Elmer
Download or read book The Renaissance in Europe written by Peter Elmer and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2000-01-01 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Current research on the Renaissance has emphasized the need to look again at the original texts, documents and artefacts which, taken together, constitute the primary source of evidence for the re-evaluation of its historical significance. This volume represents one attempt to reflect this renewal of interest in returning to first principles. The Anthology presents a series of carefully selected primary sources across a wide range of disciplines, ordered thematically and reflecting the interests of scholars in a variety of fields of Renaissance studies. There are sections on humanism and its impact on philosophy and politics; Renaissance court culture, with particular emphasis on the courts of northern Italy and the Kingdom of Hungary; poetry and drama in Renaissance Britain; the Reformation; and science, magic and witchcraft. While some of the extracts are short and familiar, others appear here, in translation, for the first time, including, for example, an early sixteenth-century demonology by the Italian humanist Gianfrancesco Pico della Mirandola. The volume is illustrated throughout and each extract is introduced by a brief headnote describing the author and the source. Peter Elmer is Staff Tutor and Lecturer in the History of Science and Techology, Nick Webb is Staff Tutor and Lecturer in Art History, and Roberta Wood is Course Manager in the Arts Faculty, all at the Open University.
