Date: 2001. First Edition. New York, HarperCollins, 2001. 14.5 cm x 21.5 cm. XIX, 329 pages. With 32 illustrations by Soun Vannithone and frontispiece (William Smith's 1801 Map [bound in at page XIII]). Original Hardcover with the illustrated dustjacket in protective collector's Mylar. Excellent, close to new condition. Includes for example the following chapters: The Mystery of the Chedworth Bun / The View from York Minster etc. William 'Strata' Smith (23 March 1769 28 August 1839) was an English geologist, credited with creating the first detailed, nationwide geological map of any country. At the time his map was first published he was overlooked by the scientific community; his relatively humble education and family connections prevented him from mixing easily in learned society. Financially ruined, Smith spent time in debtors' prison. It was only late in his life that Smith received recognition for his accomplishments, and became known as the "Father of English Geology" (Wikipedia). 2001. ISBN 0060193611 9780060193614 [IE]

The Map That Changed the World is, at its foundation, a very human tale of endurance and achievement, of one man's dedication in the face of ruin and homelessness. The world's coal and oil industry, its gold mining, its highway systems, and its railroad routes were all derived entirely from the creation of William Smith's first map, and with a keen eye and thoughtful detail, Simon Winchester unfolds the poignant sacrifice behind this world-changing discovery.

New York: HarperCollinsPublishers, Date: 2001. xix, 329 pages, [2] pages of plates, illustrations, maps (some colour); 22 cm. PRESENTATION COPY. Signed by the author, with a personalized inscription. Dust jacket, with light edgewear, protected in a mylar cover. On William Smith, the father of modern geology. "In 1793, a canal digger named William Smith made a startling discovery. He found that by tracing the placement of fossils, which he uncovered in his excavations, one could follow layers of rocks as they dipped and rose and fell -- clear across England and, indeed, clear across the world -- making it possible, for the first time ever, to draw a chart of the hidden underside of the earth. Determined to expose what he realized was the landscape's secret fourth dimension, Smith spent twenty-two years piecing together the fragments of this unseen universe to create an epochal and remarkably beautiful hand-painted map. But instead of receiving accolades and honors, he ended up in debtors' prison, the victim of plagiarism, and virtually homeless for ten years more. Finally, in 1831, this quiet genius -- now known as the father of modern geology -- received the Geological Society of London's highest award and King William IV offered him a lifetime pension. The Map That Changed the World is a very human tale of endurance and achievement, of one man's dedication in the face of ruin.
