| 520 | _a"Terrestrial and Celestial Globes Volume 1" by Edward Luther Stevenson is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. This work provides a detailed historical account of globes—both terrestrial and celestial—exploring their construction, significance, and evolution as tools in the disciplines of geography and astronomy. The author meticulously examines the historical development of globes from antiquity to the early modern period, highlighting pivotal figures and inventions in the field. The opening of the volume outlines the initial chapters focused on the origins of astronomical and geographical sciences, discussing key early civilizations and thinkers such as the Babylonians, Greeks, and Romans. Stevenson emphasizes the primitive attempts at map-making and globe construction that date back to ancient cultures, detailing contributions from notable figures like Anaximander, Ptolemy, and Eratosthenes. This foundational discussion sets the stage for delving into more specific historical developments of globe-making and their applications in understanding the world, suggesting a comprehensive treatment of the subject throughout the text.
