Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a seminal work of ancient geography, and it is also the first attempt ever made to bring together all existing geographical knowledge into one definitive treatise. It was written by a Greek geographer and historian named Strabo, who lived over two thousand years ago, but this book remains one of the most important works on the subject ever produced. A fascinating product of its time, this book provides a comprehensive overview of the geographical knowledge of the ancient world, from the views of the earliest Greek geographers up to Strabo's own day. It is the only surviving work of its kind from antiquity, and its contents are invaluable to historians seeking to reconstruct the ancient world. This book is carefully organized, and it covers a wide range of geographical topics, including mathematical geography, physical geography, and descriptive geography. Strabo was the first geographer to divide the known world into climate zones, and he also made important contributions to our understanding of tides, volcanoes, and earthquakes. Furthermore, Strabo does not confine himself to description; he also includes considerable historical and ethnological information, providing invaluable insights into the cultures and societies of the ancient world. In short, this book is an indispensable resource for anyone interested in the history of geography and the ancient world.
