To sail the oceans needed skill as well as courage, and the sea chart was the tool by which ships of trade, transport or conquest navigated their course. This book looks at the history and development of the chart and the nautical map as a means of safe and accurate seaborne navigation.

Such involvements led to Cook's voyages in the Pacific, the search for the Northwest Passage and races to the Arctic and Antarctic. The volume is arranged along chronological and then geographical lines.

Using parallel examples from Earth's varied landscapes, noted planetary geologist Ellen Stofan and planetary scientist and veteran astronaut Tom Jones pair terrestrial images, many taken by the crews of the space shuttle and space station, with astonishing views from NASA's robotic probes to paint a fresh portrait of the solar system. These vivid illustrations of searing lava plains, windswept deserts, and stark craters are accompanied by clearly written prose, explaining how forces such as volcanes, asteroids, liquids and atmosphere have shaped these varied landscapes.This comprehensive new portrait of the solar system brings to light an array of important features never seen until today--and it highlights, for the first time, the similarities and contrasts between Earth and its neighbors in space.
Anecdotal stories from space flights and exploratory missions make "Planetology" an absorbing read as well as an informative resource. ...
