Hi there,
Fairly new to this subreddit but I urgently need some help. I'm currently doing a paper on the history of navigation, what the beginnings on navigation and cartography were and how causes and reactions to changes in navigational techniques and ideologies have influenced our current world in which we use maps, sattelite and GPS etc.
The only problem i am having is finding useful links and scholarly articles to reference and use as research and as a somewhat depsperate measure was wondering someone here would know of any useful journals, books, ebooks anything that could help me.
Anyway, any help is greatly appreciated. Cheers.
Just to clarify, are you asking about navigational techniques that may have existed before cartography and charts (the cross-staff, astrolabe, etc.) or techniques that are dependent on charting?
