Notes; Originally published: London : Weidenfeld & Nicolson, 2002.Includes bibliographical references and index. Summary; Gerard Mercator (1512-1594) was born at the dawn of the Age of Discovery, when the world was beginning to be discovered and carved up by navigators, geographers and cartographers. Mercator was the greatest and most ingenious cartographer of them all: it was he who coined the word 'atlas' and solved the riddle of converting the three-dimensional globe into a two-dimensional map while retaining true compass bearings. It is Mercator's Projection that NASA are using today to map Mars. How did Mercator reconcile his religious beliefs with a science that would make Christian maps obsolete? How did a man whose imagination roamed continents endure imprisonment by the Inquisition? Crane brings this great man vividly to life, underlying it with colour illustrations of the maps themselves: maps that brought to a rapt public wonders as remarkable as today's cyber-world.

London England: Phoenix, Date: 2003. Paperback. Tiny crease to corner front cover. The sixteenth century, the 'Age of Discovery', was a time of extraordinary intellectual and scientific expansion.

Born in Flanders in 1512, he was imprisoned by the Inquisition, and survived plaque, war and famine to become instructment maker to an emperor. The first to coin the term 'atlas', mercator solved the dimensional riddle that had vexed mapmakers for so long: How best to convert the three-dimensional globe into a two-dimensional map?
