Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book provides an early introduction to geography and astronomy for younger readers with a particular emphasis on the celestial sphere and the connection between the Earth's movement and the position and motion of celestial bodies, especially the Sun. It also includes a section on how to use globes and maps. Beginning with straightforward descriptions of spheres or globes of the heaven and Earth, the author goes on to explain how to interpret maps and use sea charts. The book further classifies and explains concepts such as the Equator, Ecliptic, Prime Meridian and the Arctic/Antarctic Circle, and describes the use and history of the Zodiac. The author also introduces the concepts of longitude, latitude, azimuth, altitude and declination of the Sun and other heavenly bodies, alongside a more detailed description of the Celestial Sphere. The book goes on to describe the various zones and regions of the Earth, before introducing the concept of the Perieoci, Antoeci and Antipodes, who by virtue of their position on the globe experience seasonal difference at different times. The book is illustrated with figures and diagrams which help explain more complex concepts and provides many problems to be practiced on the globe. Overall, this book is an excellent guide for anyone wanting to improve their knowledge of astronomy and geography. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
