Description
John Rennie Short explores a transformative period in history where the understanding of the world fundamentally shifted. From 1475 to 1600, societal changes led to a reimagining of geography and space, influenced by advancements in navigation and mapping techniques.
Through meticulous analysis, Short illustrates how these developments shaped not just the physical world but also the cultural and intellectual landscapes of the time. As explorers charted new territories and challenged existing perceptions, the cosmos expanded in the collective consciousness, forever altering humanity's relationship with the planet and beyond.
