From the cover: The editors of this volume bring together leading specialists who have analyzed the thoughts and records of a wide range of pre-modern societies from around the globe and across the ages. A wide range of common questions are examined, from evidence, interpretations, and methodology to the way geographic and ethnographic concepts and views of the cosmos were developed and expressing.
