Book Description Paperback. Condition: New. From the simple pilot books (periploi) and eight-pointed wind roses used by ancient Mediterranean mariners, this richly illustrated history follows the development of sea-charts up to British Admiralty charts from the Crimean, Opium and First World Wars. Focusing on the period from 1400 to 1900, Peter Whitfield examines the Europeans' enterprise of charting the world in relation to their expanding knowledge of other oceans and lands, driven by the commercial need for navigational and maritime information.
