Summary "Terrestrial and Celestial Globes Volume 2" by Edward Luther Stevenson is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. This volume serves as a continuation of an exploration into the history and construction of globes, examining the contributions of various globe makers and their significance in the fields of geography and astronomy. At the start of the book, the author discusses the shift in the focus of globe making to the northwest of Europe at the end of the 16th century, particularly highlighting the role of Dutch artisans such as Jodocus Hondius and Willem Jansz. Blaeu. Stevenson elaborates on the burgeoning demand for both terrestrial and celestial globes due to the age of exploration, emphasizing the meticulous craftsmanship behind these instruments. He introduces key figures and their contributions to globe making, setting the stage for a deeper discussion of the technology and artistry involved in their creation throughout the following chapters.
