Christopher Columbus
ISBN: 9781497637849 / Angielski / Miękka / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

But soon his eyes turned to the ocean and what lay beyond. Opposition to his idea of finding the East by sailing west was based on differing ideas of the size and shape of the world. To the end of his days, Columbus insisted that where his ship came aground was in the Indies, even when it became clear to his contemporaries that they were in fact in an area of the world previously unknown to Europeans....

Since the first manned balloon flight in 1783, developments have come thick and fast, the airship, the aeroplane, and finally the...
