The Globe: How the Earth Became Round
Published by Reaktion Books
Order from Amazon.co.uk or Amazon.com
“A tour d'horizon that spans time as well as space, this is a thrilling intellectual adventure story” Tom Holland, author of Rubicon, Dominion and Pax
“An exploration of one of humankind's oldest and most profound insights, The Globe is a work of compulsively readable myth-busting. As amiable as it is scholarly, James Hannam's book uses the history of the spherical Earth to provide a global tour of cosmologies through the ages.” Philip Ball
“This splendid book” The Spectator
“As for the arc of his history, it swept me along, especially when I found I was learning a thing or two.” ☆☆☆☆☆ The Daily Telegraph
“A truly all-encompassing book: a wonderful achievement and a delight to read.” Jerry Brotton, author of A History of the World in Twelve Maps
