Auteur :  Sumira , Sylvia Titre :  Globes : 400 years of exploration, navigation, and power , Sylvia Sumira Editeur :  Chicago London , The University of Chicago Press -- [2014] Description :  1 volume (224 pages) : illustrations et cartes en couleurs ; 29 cm ISBN:  978-0-226-13900-5 , cloth : alk. paper 0-226-13900-X , cloth : alk. paper 9780226139142 , e-book Notes :  Références bibliographiques, index. The concept of the earth as a sphere has been around for centuries, emerging around the time of Pythagoras in the sixth century BC, and eventually becoming dominant as other thinkers of the ancient world, including Plato and Aristotle, accepted the idea. The first record of an actual globe being made is found in verse, written by the poet Aratus of Soli, who describes a celestial sphere of the stars by Greek astronomer Eudoxus of Cnidus (ca. 408 355 BC). The oldest surviving globe a celestial globe held up by Atlas s shoulders dates back to 150 AD, but in the West, globes were not made again for about a thousand years. It was not until the fifteenth century that terrestrial globes gained importance, culminating when German geographer Martin Behaim created what is thought to be the oldest surviving terrestrial globe. In Globes: 400 Years of Exploration, Navigation, and Power, Sylvia Sumira, beginning with Behaim s globe, offers a authoritative and striking illustrated history of the subsequent four hundred years of globe making.
