Product Details
- Discover the epic history of human exploration and migration, and the stories of fearless pioneers the world over, with this stunning tour of history - map by map. Charting everything from the movement of early Homo species out of Africa some 1.8 million years ago to the astonishing voyages of Polynesian sailors across the Pacific from 4,000 BCE, and from the California Gold Rush to the Race for Space, entries explain the movements of people and cultures who set off into the unknown - in search of adventure or a better life. Specially commissioned maps show the key driving factors of each journey, and why certain routes were chosen over others - whether due to climate, terrain, or territory - while stunning contemporary examples offer fascinating insights into the unique world-views and political motivations of the people who commissioned them, and the cartographers who created them. The voyages of history’s greatest explorers - from Zheng He to Ibn Battuta and Marco Polo - are brought to vivid life with accompanying photos, illustrations, and original artefacts, along with recent missions to chart the depths of the oceans and the surface of Mars. And entries also explore the experiences of established Indigenous groups and the impact of settler populations. Packed with fascinating detail and bursting with lavish illustrations, Exploration: Map by Map is a must-have title for anyone who loves maps, history, or the pioneering spirit.

Civilization & Culture Editorial Review
**** The "Exploration Map by Map: From Migrations and Encounters to Voyages and Discoveries" by DK History serves as a visually engaging exploration of human journeys through different epochs. Reviewers, particularly those inclined towards history, express strong appreciation for the book, praising its exceptional design, including a well-crafted cover that artfully balances matte and reflective surfaces, alongside a clear and thoughtful layout that enhances both readability and aesthetics. The content is broad, covering a wide chronology from ancient migrations to modern explorations, yet it leans towards a Euro-centric view, predominantly featuring European explorations due to the availability of historical documentation. Each section presents concise summaries highlighting significant voyages and human migrations, making it an approachable resource for readers seeking a quick reference rather than exhaustive academic detail. While some reviewers desired greater depth in certain historical accounts, the majority found these succinct narratives to still be informative and a good starting point for those wishing to further delve into specific topics. The book’s physical attributes receive accolades for quality; reviewers noted its thick, durable pages and large size make it an ideal candidate for display as well as use. With many commenting on its suitability as a gift, it’s highlighted that the book is not only a beautiful object but also delivers on content that prompts deeper contemplation on human movement and its impact on history and geography. Overall, it’s a rich visual and educational experience for history enthusiasts, students, and families alike. **
