CONTENT: The southern hemisphere is mainly land. So said medieval Europeans,
raised on a heady brew of folklore, biblical revelation and geographical
theory. It is how they imagined it. This belief led to the history of southern
maritime exploration being one of frustration, deception, and self-deception. This
book tells the story of the inventors who sent the dream abroad and the
discoverers who brought reality home.
