crl-10150	Brown, Lloyd A.	The Early Cartography of the Pacific (Book Review)	1945-05-31	2	.pdf	application/pdf	1363	60	58	Ancient and out-of-date maps will assume a new importance in his concep­ tion of history, and the present world conflict, with its inevitable geographic upheavals, will be seen as merely another chapter in Mr. Wroth's story, which is the very ancient, uni­ versal struggle for world conquest, the history of which can best be understood by means of maps and charts. As the story unfolds we learn how rumor was followed by exploration, which in turn led to maps and charts, crude and distorted at · first, subjects of bitter con­ troversies and disastrous voyages, until grad­ ually the facts were sifted to form the basis of accurate documents on which navigators and potentates could depend.	cache/crl-10150.pdf	txt/crl-10150.txt
