Hard Cover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Maps & Drawings (illustrator). First Edition. Dust jacket complete, unclipped. Original cloth covered boards with bright silver titling on spine. No ownership inscription. vii, 216 pages clean and tight. Where are we?-That deceptively simple question has provided the impetus for an often hazardous and always exciting searching-out of the world ever since man's first perception of his place in it. From a Sumerian town map to the fantasy-populated provinces that lay beyond the Pillars of Heracles, from a lost Land of Promise to Newfoundland, from ancient times to the eighteenth century when Cook's voyages effectively concluded the "drawing of the earth," scholars and seamen, statesmen and merchants have devoted their energies to making the unknown known. And if, more often than not, reasons of economy or expansion justified their explorations, still the primary moving force must have been that curiosity about where we stand in relation to the rest of the universe which leads our explorers of space to look back and photograph and measure the earth in the long tradition of geographers, for "the course of history" has meant changing spatial concepts as well as changing times. Dr. Parker's narrative is eminently readable; the maps and drawings provide immediate interpretations of the concepts and explorations he describes in his text. In the interlocking of text and map, he puts together a case for the study of geography as an evolution in knowledge so convincing it may prove revolutionary to any reader who has hitherto thought that geography had to be dull.
