Synopsis

Evolution of Maps explores the fascinating history of cartography, revealing how maps have shaped our understanding of the world from ancient times to the present day. It traces the development of mapmaking techniques, from early Babylonian clay tablets to today's sophisticated GPS technology, highlighting the ingenuity of past civilizations. Intriguingly, the book demonstrates how maps have not only reflected geographic knowledge but have also actively influenced exploration, trade, and even warfare.

 
The book examines the profound impact of maps on society, showing how they have been used to establish territorial claims, facilitate global trade networks, and enable military strategies. By providing essential historical context, the narrative progresses chronologically through pre-classical cartography, the Age of Exploration, and the digital revolution, emphasizing the social, political, and ethical dimensions of mapmaking.

 
Evolution of Maps uniquely combines technical analysis with critical cultural interpretation, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in earth sciences geography and the history of maps.

    The metaverse. That term elicits a wide range of ideas and opinions. For many, it represents the next evolutionary phase of the internet—a fully immersive, digital universe where people can interact, work, and play in virtual environments. For others, it's yet another overhyped technology. So what is it, exactly? And what will its impact be? 
     
     
     
    While speculation and predictions about the metaverse are varied, one thing is clear: it is impacting the world of business as well as people's lives, and it will continue to do so in the future. The global metaverse market is predicted to be worth about $1 trillion by 2030, with over two billion users participating in some form of immersive experience. 
     
     
     
    There's a reason why companies are investing heavily in spatial computing and why platforms like Roblox are thriving. The metaverse, along with the technologies that underpin it, is still evolving, but it will eventually offer more ways for people to experience the world and each other. 
     
     
     
    In Welcome to the Metaverse, David Shrier, a world-leading futurist and the author of Welcome to AI, offers an entertaining look at the potential uses and impacts of this virtual space on business and life.

    Here is Dr. Wernher von Braun’s incredible story – from his early years in Germany, where he gave birth to modern rocketry, to his arrival in the United States and his launching of the first American satellite, the first man on the moon and other stunning space exploration feats. “Every page of Wernher von Braun’s life is a monument to the drama of adventure. Few people have been fighting so hard and, indeed, very few have been subject to so much criticism, so much jealousy, so much defeat—yet, very few have lived to be honored and to harvest the fruits of so many wonderful victories as has this man.” Author Erik Bergaust has had the advantage of knowing von Braun as a friend, hunting and fishing companion, space business associate—and biographer—for more than twenty-five years. Thus, he has been able to present a dramatic portrait of an important personality and a 20th century hero.

    Is the human body built for Mars? NASA's studies on the International Space Station show we need to fix a few things before sending people to the Red Planet. Astronauts go into space with good vision and come back needing eyeglasses. Cognition and DNA expression could be affected for years. And then there's the discomfort of living in a tight space with crewmates, depression, and separation from the people you love. 
     
     
     
    Space doctors are on the case. You'll meet the first twin to spend a year in space, the woman who racked up three physically challenging spacewalks in between 320 days of confinement, and the cosmonaut who was temporarily stranded on space station Mir while the Soviet Union broke up underneath him. What are we learning about the human body? 
     
     
     
    As astronauts target moon missions and eventual landings on Mars, one of the major questions is how the human body will behave in "partial gravity." How does the human body change on another world, as opposed to floating freely in microgravity? What can studies on Earth and in space tell us about planetary exploration? These questions will be important to the future of space exploration and to related studies of seniors and people with reduced mobility on Earth.
