In alle tijden zijn er wel mensen geweest die zich genoodzaakt voelden de grenzen van de toenmaals bekende wereld te verkennen - en deze te overschrijden. Dat zijn de mannen en vrouwen die onze kijk op onze omgeving hebben veranderd door hun dappere, risicovolle ondernemingen, en die de wereld aan ons hebben geopenbaard. Maar wat zette hen ertoe aan om zich in onbekende en onbarmhartige landen te wagen, bijna onvoorstelbare uitdagingen te trotseren en de dood te riskeren? In een reeks indringende biografieën worden in dit boek veertig van de grootste ontdekkingsreizigers beschreven. Hun leven wordt belicht en hun motieven en hartstochten worden geanalyseerd, zodat hun grote wapenfeiten in hun context komen te staan. Marianne North begon pas aan haar reis toen ze al veertig was. Francis Garnier ging tot het uiterste, tot aan de rand van de waanzin, om de loop van de Mekong te volgen. En Edward Wilson reisde tweemaal samen met Scott om de zuidpool te bereiken, en stierf samen met hem nadat Amundsen hun de loef had afgestoken. De grote ontdekkinsreizigers is geschreven door een internationaal team van gezaghebbende reisauteurs, presentatoren en historici. Het is thematisch ingedeeld - beginnend met de oceaanreizen van vijfhonderd jaar geleden, toen het grote tijdperk van opgetekende ontdekkingstochten begon, tot de hoofdstukken over land, rivieren, poolijs, woestijnen, het leven op aarde en nieuwe grensgebieden. Velen van deze ontdekkingsreizigers hebben hun reizen in levendige authentieke verslagen weergegeven; anderen waren grootse artiesten en fotografen. Het boek is geïllustreerd met fraaie kunstwerken, foto's, gravures, kaarten en citaten, zodat wij hun avonturen ook kunnen meebeleven door hun eigen ogen en met hun eigen woorden. Met 204 illustraties.

The Age of Discovery explores one of the most dramatic features of the late medieval and early modern period: when voyagers from Western Europe led by Spain and Portugal set out across the world and established links with the New World.

El prestigio de Marcel Bataillon no proviene únicamente de los trabajos publicados por él mismo, sino también de las investigaciones que dirigió o inspiró. Una primera estancia en la Escuela de Altos Estudios Hispánicos, en 1916, le permite vislumbrar y esbozar lo que con el tiempo se convertiría en su vocación científica: el humanismo, enfocado primero como una investigación sobre el helenismo en España, tema que posteriormente amplió al conjunto de movimientos intelectuales, culturales y espirituales del siglo XVI. Marcel Bataillon no se dejó encerrar en una limitada especialización. Su curiosidad intelectual llegó a abarcar casi todos los sectores del hispanismo. Destacan en su obra tres orientaciones privilegiadas: la literatura española del siglo XVI, la historia espiritual de España y los debates suscitados por la conquista y colonización del Nuevo Mundo. Las contribuciones al homenaje que la Casa de Velázques le rindió con motivo del centenario de su nacimiento se organizan alrededor de estas tres direcciones. Los autores -todos ellos discípulos de Marcel Bataillon- dan testimonio, a través de los estudios publicados en esta obra, de la fecundidad de las pistas abiertas por el maestro.

Autant, si ce n'est plus que pour l'Espagne, les Grandes découvertes ont été, pour le Portugal, un véritable mythe fondateur. En un siècle et demi, de 1415 aux années 1550 , un pays de dimension modeste (90000 km2) , situé au sud d'une Europe médiévale confrontée en Méditérranée à l'Islam, peuplé d'un peu plus d'un million d'habitants, a mis en relation, de façon directe, grâce à sa maîtrise des routes de la mer océane, cet extrême Occident de l'Ancien Monde avec les "Trois Mondes" d'Afrique, d'Asie et d'Amérique. Le Portugal donnait ainsi au Monde sa dimension planétaire et l'Europe, grãce au Portugal, affirmait outre-mer sa "Renaissance". Cet ouvrage, qui est un manuel de synthèse, décrit les principaux évènements de cette vaste fresque maritime, chantée dès 1572 par Luis de Camões dans son poème épique des Lusiades. De l'Afrique aux Indes d'Asie, du Brésil ou du Labrador à la Chine ou au Japon, cette histoire des découvertes portugaises évoque les rencontres multiples où le destin de l'Europe s'est trouvé confronté à tant d'autres destins ...

Russia first encountered Alaska in 1741 as part of the most ambitious and expensive expedition of the entire eighteenth century. For centuries since, cartographers have struggled to define and develop the enormous region comprising northeastern Asia, the North Pacific, and Alaska. The forces of nature and the follies of human error conspired to make the area incredibly difficult to map. Exploring and Mapping Alaska focuses on this foundational period in Arctic cartography. Russia spurred a golden era of cartographic exploration, while shrouding their efforts in a veil of secrecy. They drew both on old systems developed by early fur traders and new methodologies created in Europe. With Great Britain, France, and Spain following close behind, their expeditions led to an astounding increase in the world's knowledge of North America. Through engrossing descriptions of the explorations and expert navigators, aided by informative illustrations, readers can clearly trace the evolution of the maps of the era, watching as a once-mysterious region came into sharper focus. The result of years of cross-continental research, Exploring and Mapping Alaska is a fascinating study of the trials and triumphs of one of the last great eras of historic mapmaking.

From the names of cruise lines and bookstores to an Australian ranch and a nudist camp outside of Atlanta, the word serendipity--that happy blend of wisdom and luck by which something is discovered not quite by accident--is today ubiquitous. This book traces the word's eventful history from its 1754 coinage into the twentieth century--chronicling along the way much of what we now call the natural and social sciences. The book charts where the term went, with whom it resided, and how it fared. We cross oceans and academic specialties and meet those people, both famous and now obscure, who have used and abused serendipity. We encounter a linguistic sage, walk down the illustrious halls of the Harvard Medical School, attend the (serendipitous) birth of penicillin, and meet someone who "manages serendipity" for the U.S. Navy. The story of serendipity is fascinating; that of The Travels and Adventures of Serendipity, equally so. Written in the 1950's by already-eminent sociologist Robert Merton and Elinor Barber, the book--though occasionally and most tantalizingly cited--was intentionally never published. This is all the more curious because it so remarkably anticipated subsequent battles over research and funding--many of which centered on the role of serendipity in science. Finally, shortly after his ninety-first birthday, following Barber's death and preceding his own by but a little, Merton agreed to expand and publish this major work. Beautifully written, the book is permeated by the prodigious intellectual curiosity and generosity that characterized Merton's influential On the Shoulders of Giants. Absolutely entertaining as the history of a word, the book is also tremendously important to all who value the miracle of intellectual discovery. It represents Merton's lifelong protest against that rhetoric of science that defines discovery as anything other than a messy blend of inspiration, perspiration, error, and happy chance--anything other than serendipity.

"In Imagination and Science in Romanticism, Richard Sha challenges the idea that the imagination could only be applied to the literary and that its primary role was to transcend scientific concerns. Sha shows how the imagination functioned within physics and chemistry in Prometheus Unbound, neurology in Blake's Four Zoas, physiology in Coleridge's Biographia Literaria, and obstetrics and embryology in Frankenstein. Sha also shows how the imagination was used in the scientific community, highlighting as primary examples the work of Davy, Faraday, Priestley, Kant, Mary Somerville, Oersted, Marcet, Swedenborg, Blumenbach, Buffon, Erasmus Darwin, and Von Baer, among others. Both fields profited from thinking about how the imagination could cooperate with reason and how hypotheses that had the possibility of actuality could benefit their work" --
