"If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants" So wrote Sir Isaac Newton about his contribution to science. But the sentence could equally have been uttered by nearly every one of the more than100 explorers whose journeys are marked on this map or are discussed in the free book that is supplied with it. The exploration of the world is a story that has stretched over thousands of years and can only be understood as a whole. That story is shown on the map in the frieze with a time-line of significant explorers above and below the globe.

The great questions about world exploration are discussed here Who were the first explorers to reach North America? The Vikings? The Spanish? The British? Which explorers were the first to sail around the Cape of Good Hope? The Phoenicians? The Chinese? The Portuguese?  Who discovered Australia? The Dutch? The British?

Looking for a unique gift that will be treasured forever? Decorated with ships and sea monsters, the map is an attractive work of art that will excite the imagination of any schoolchild and grace any wall. But it is more than that, it tells a unique story in a uniquely accessible way and is therefore a valuable work of reference as well.
