"...and though we be on the far side of the world, this map- is our home.

This map- is England."

/Aubrey

Fascinating. I grabbed a copy to look at when my eyes are open.

Absolutely awesome book. Winchester is an incredible writer. He also wrote "The Professor and the Madman: Murder, Insanity, and the Making of the Oxford English Dictionary".

That book convinced me that Simon Winchester is the best prose stylist writing in English today.

"Not the usual evolution thread [...]"

I consider that a good thing.

Do we really need another evolution thread around here?

"There is no geologic column at all." </Creo_mode>

So by 1815 maps like that were being produced. Can't blame it all on Darwin. Have to blame it on ... the Earth.
