About M. E. Rothwell
Histories of the earth and the stars.
Cosmography as a word is no longer in vogue, but it once denoted attempts to map the entire cosmos. It differed from geography in that its scope included the celestial — other worlds, the heavens, creation — alongside terrestrial concerns like cartography, people, flora, and fauna.
In essence, traditional cosmography was an attempt to unite history, geography, anthropology, ethnology, zoology, and theology all in one; a preposterously vast, yet dazzling endeavour.
This publication is an attempt to do the same.
After all, our time on earth is finite.
