{"product_id":"antipodes-avan-judd-stallard-9781925377323","title":"Antipodes: In Search of the Southern Continent","description":"Antipodes: In Search of the Southern Continent is a new history of an ancient geography. It reassesses the evidence for why Europeans believed a massive southern continent existed, and why they advocated for its discovery. When ships were equal to ambitions, explorers set out to find and claim Terra Australis. Antipodes charts these voyages--voyages both through the imagination and across the High Seas--in pursuit of the mythical Terra Australis. In doing so, the question is asked: how could so many fail to see the realities they encountered? And how is it a mythical land held the gaze of an era famed for breaking free the shackles of superstition? That Terra Australis did not exist didn't stop explorers pursuing the continent, unwilling to abandon the promise of such a rich and magnificent land till it was stripped of every ounce of value it had ever promised. In the process, the southern continent--an imaginary land--became one of the shaping forces of early modern history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Avan Judd Stallard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1925377326\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781925377323\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Monash University Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.60h x 6.60w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2017","brand":"Avan Judd Stallard","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48066037612799,"sku":"9781925377323","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_daddca8c-64f0-4493-bba0-440ae0a64fc1.jpg?v=1768677845","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/antipodes-avan-judd-stallard-9781925377323","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
