[EAN: 9781440033377], Neubuch, [PU: Forgotten Books], Language: English . Brand New Book ***** Print on Demand *****. Excerpt from The Story of Geographical Discovery: How the World Became Known In the Middle Ages, much of this knowledge, like all other, was lost, and we shall have to record how knowledge was replaced by imagina tion and theory. The true inheritors of Greek science during that period were the Arabs, and the few additions to real geographical knowledge at that time were due to them, except in so far as commercial travellers and pilgrims brought a more intimate knowledge of Asia to the West. The discovery of America forms the be ginning of a new period, both in modern history and in modern geography. In the four hundred years that have elapsed since then, more than twice as much of the inhabited globe has become known to civilised man than in the preceding four thousand years. The result is that, except for a few patches of Africa, South America, and round the Poles, man knows roughly what are the physical resources of the world he inhabits, and, except for minor details, the history of geographical discovery is practically at an end.

[ED: Taschenbuch], [PU: Forgotten Books], Excerpt from The Story of Geographical Discovery: How the World Became Known The explorer and discoverer holds a unique place in history. The fame of the statesman or the soldier who controls or decides the fate of a nation may decline and disappear outside the boundaries of his own land. Except to his own countrymen his memory may endure only as a name, his deeds be forgotten. But the explorer and his achievements belong to the world at large. His exploits belong to the romance of history and exercise a peculiar fascination over the minds of men. Those hardy and adventurous spirits who have extended the boundaries of the known world have been the popular heroes of all time and posterity is generous in its appreciation of their contributions to the progress of civilization. The romance of exploration and geographical discovery is now completely written. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
