Notes
Imagine a world without maps - a time when few people knew what was outside their village let alone over the horizon. Then up popped some great adventurers who boldy sailed out into the unknown. But what made them risk life and limb to do it and how did they change our view of the world?Contents
Contents : What’s over the horizon (fearless European sailors braved the dangerous seas to discover foreign lands. But why?) - Vessels of the Vikings (from the 8th century to the 11th, northern European sails struck fear wherever they went) - Spice Boys (Portuguses trailblazers in the 15th century sailed around Africa’s coast all the way to India. What were they looking for?) - The Hugest ‘Discovery’ (A mission from Spain in 1492 altered the world map beyond all recognition) - Dead Ends (English explorers in Tudor times found it hard to sail through icy northern seas - but they had better luck further south) - The Great Southern Mystery (epic 18th-century voyages from Britain charted many lands in the Pacific Ocean but ended in disaster) - To the Ends of the Earth (the world finally came into focus, thanks to awesome adventurers) - maps - glossary and indexAdditional Info
