For more than 600 years, Western civilization has relied on exploration to learn about a wider world and universe. This book details the different eras of Western exploration in terms of its locations, intellectual contexts, the characteristic moral conflicts that underwrote encounters, and the grand gestures that distil an age into its essence.
