Journey of Ideas About the Earth answers questions about the size and shape of the Earth (geodesy), its place in the Solar System (astronomy), and the development of tools to study it analytically (mathematics). Spanning 5,000 years, it presents the concept that the growth of knowledge results from a journey of ideas.
