But, I was happily surprised by how thorough and lovely the pictures are. The beginning of the book contains a comprehensive section on how to read maps, and explains how a map can represent different information (climate, politics, terrain). Each continent also had photographs of the people, and natural formations that are identified with it. That was nice! But, all cannot be perfect alas. Many of the maps span two pages, to make it larger I presume. However, and this is REALLY annoying, you cannot see what is in the crease between the two pages! The United States is missing parts of it, Africa is bisected at the Congo. I would rather Natl Geographic had made each map a fold-out. I guess there would have been a chance that it would eventually get ripped out, but at least you can see the whole area being shown.

85. Q.co.za - Our World Our Way The natives, tired of the excesses for which explorers were coming to be knownin this part of the world, decided to let him in on a little secret. http://www.q.co.za/2003/11/2411_columbus.htm

news motoring finance health ... date: men The Explorers by Brendan Shumway Five hundred years have passed since Christopher Columbus discovered the New World; or so the history books tell us. I wonder what really happened? "We have made it!" cries the great leader, waving his arms to encompass the lands as far as he could see. "Where are we?" asks the First Officer of the Santa Maria. "Why we are in India, my lad. And these - " says Columbus, pointing to a group of natives huddled fearfully nearby, "are Indians." "But sir - how can we be certain this is India?" The other officers look on with horror at the audacity of the remark. Chris himself, flushed with the enormity of his accomplishment, is not offended. "My dear Giuseppe, we were given a purpose - to find the way westward to India. And we have traveled these many days and leagues and now we set foot on land - indeed, what any sane man knows is the only land to be found in this direction. That is, my young friend - India! The world will thank us for this glorious discovery." "Those people don't look too thankful," says Giuseppe, pointing to the natives.

About Outline How To Schedule ... Links AWSN Arab World Studies Notebook 'Early Muslim Exploration Worldwide: Evidence of Muslims in the New World Before Columbus' By Abdallah Hakim Quick and Audrey Shabbas The Muslims were far ranging sea traders – merchants and explorers whose travels added to the store of geographic knowledge. So great was their knowledge and their reputation for such knowledge, that when eleventh-century King Roger of Sicily wanted to know about the world, he knew he had to ask a Muslim. The Muslim scholar entrusted with the task of creating an atlas for King Roger, was Abu Abdullah Muhammad Ibn Muhammad Abdallah Ibn Idris Al-Hammudi AI-Hasani, or simply AI-Idrisi. Al-Idrisi (1100 - 1166) was born in Morocco, the son of a noble family which claimed direct descendency from the Prophet Muhammad. Educated in Cor­doba, he was a poet, a student of medi­cine and an avid traveler. He traveled widely, visiting the Canary Islands, Muslim Spain, North Africa, and the region that is present-day Turkey. Al-Idrisi, at Roger's invitation, finally settled in Sicily where he was employed by the Norman King to write a systematic geography of the world. The result was Kitab Ar-Rujari (Roger's Book), which shows the world divided into seven regions, gives distances between major cities, and describes the customs, people, products, and climate of the en­tire known world. It also records the voyage of a Moroccan sailor who sailed into the Atlantic Ocean for 30 days and returned to tell of a rich inhabited land. Could this have been the Americas?

The Biblical Clues Able Seamen *Herodotus also notes that the feat of circumnavigation of Africa was soon duplicated by the Carthaginians. Phoenician sailors set out from their homeland on the eastern shore of the Mediterranean to trade, explore and to found colonies. They had competition from the Greeks, but managed to set colonies on most of the islands in the Mediterranean, along the north coast of Africa (including one named Carthago, Carchedon to the Greeks, or Carthage - from the punic Qart-Hadasht meaning "New Town") and along the coast of Spain (then called Iberia by the Greeks). They built small trading settlements through the Sahara desert and scattered through the middle east. They were able to navigate by the stars, unlike their Greek and Roman counterparts who without any compass were forced to sail within sight of land at all times.

95. The Mariners' Museum - Newport News, Virginia The purpose of his third voyage was to find the fabled Northwest Passage. Unlike other explorers who attempted to find this area of the world, Cook attempted a route from the Pacific side. Cook visited some of his favorite islands in the Pacific and made stops in New Zealand and Tahiti. http://www.mariner.org/age/cookfinal.html

COOK'S FINAL VOYAGE Cook's final voyage began on July 12, 1776. He was aboard the Resolution with a crew of 112. His sister ship was the Discovery with 70 men aboard. The purpose of his third voyage was to find the fabled Northwest Passage. Unlike other explorers who attempted to find this area of the world, Cook attempted a route from the Pacific side. Cook visited some of his favorite islands in the Pacific and made stops in New Zealand and Tahiti. On January 18, [1778], Cook sighted the Hawaiian Islands for the first time. He named them the Sandwich Islands after his friend, the Earl of Sandwich . The natives rowed out to meet his ships and were very friendly. After discovering so many islands in the Pacific where the people had a common language and similar customs, Cook marveled at how the Polynesian people had spread themselves from island to island. Europeans were not the only ocean-faring people. Indeed, the Polynesians had made their own explorations thousands of years before. The Hawaiians thought that Cook was a god and that his men were supernatural beings. After two weeks of trading and good relations, the ships departed heading north. By March 7, Cook reached the coast of present-day Oregon and followed the coastline north to Alaska and west through the Bering Strait. By August, Cook concluded there was no Northwest Passage and decided to head for warmer waters for the winter.

Index Biography Explorers of the Millennium Our web site, "Explorers of the Millennium," will provide students with a wealth of information about the most important explorers of the past thousand years in a simple, easy-to-use format. We included reports on nineteen explorers, chosen by members of our team. We organized the explorers on separate "Hall of Fame" and "Timeline" web pages, so that users can look for a particular explorer by name or by century. We have a links page to help students find other helpful Web sites that relate to the explorers selected. A quiz section gives visitors a chance to see what they know about some of our explorers. A feedback page invites visitors to submit their own nominations for our Explorers' Hall of Fame. We hope that a visit to "Explorers of the Millennium" will answer students' questions about explorers, lead them to new sources of information, and encourage them to think critically about which explorers were the "greatest" and why.

98. Exploring Explains the Exploring Program of the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) and provides links and contacts to more information. http://www.stefford.com/jim/exploring.htm

Exploring is the young adult division of the Boy Scouts of America . It is open to young men and women between 14 and 20 years old. In Exploring, community organizations or businesses team up with a local Boy Scout Council to provide a program that reflects the interests of the youth in an Explorer Post. Such a Post may specialize in any area of expertise. For example, an Internet Servcie Provider could sponsor a Post specializing in World Wide Web programming and invite young people with an interest to join. The sponsor would support the program by providing a meeting place, adult Advisers, and program support in the form of consultants or instructors in particular areas. I have been actively involved in the Exploring Program since I was 16 years old, and have always found it to be an amazingly flexible and exciting program. I've served in most of the leadership positions available in Exploring as both a youth and as an adult. As a youth I've been in 3 Posts, the President of one, and the Council Explorer Presidents' Association Chairman. As an adult, I have been a member of the Council Exploring Committee, an Associate Adviser, a Post Adviser, a Service Team member, and Explorer Officers' Association Adviser. The BSA, and its local Councils, provide a lot of literature to support the Exploring Program, but many Councils lack the resources to stock these items, or even have a good knowledge of what is available. For that reason, and my great repect for the Exploring Program, I'll provide a lot of that information in these pages.
