Terrestrial and Celestial Globes Volume 2 Their History and Construction Including a Consideration of their Value as Aids in the Study of Geography and Astronomy

"Terrestrial and Celestial Globes Volume 2" by Edward Luther Stevenson is a detailed scientific book from the early 1900s that looks at how globes were made and used throughout history. It builds upon previous works, explaining the impact of different globe makers and how they helped advance the studies of Earth and space. The book starts by looking at how globe making became more popular in northwestern Europe around the late 1500s, especially with Dutch artists like Jodocus Hondius and Willem Jansz. Blaeu. As exploration increased, so did the need for globes, which required careful skill to produce. Core people involved in globe creation are introduced, paving the way for an analysis of the technical and artistic elements that went into making them in later parts.
