Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book tells the compelling story of the American Coast Survey, a scientific survey of the entire coast of the United States. Conceived of in 1807, the Coast Survey flourished under the renowned scientist F. R. Hassler, and gained new life when Alexander Dallas Bache took over as Superintendent in 1843. Bache implemented a comprehensive system that allowed for simultaneous operations across many geographical regions, a change that more than doubled the survey's productivity. By 1858, the survey had measured nine baselines and achieved significant progress towards creating precise charts of the coastlines. This account showcases the transformative scientific and administrative changes that occurred within the Coast Survey, leading to remarkable advancements in navigation, defense, commerce, and more. Its insights underscore the power of meticulous scientific research to drive progress in multiple fields, a significant contribution to the burgeoning 19th-century scientific landscape. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N� de r�f. du vendeur 9780282600105_0
