�ber diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

Background to Discovery recounts the great voyages of discovery, from Dampier to Cook, that excited such fervent political and popular interest in eighteenth-century Europe. Perhaps this book's greatest strength lies in its remarkable synthesis of both the achievements of European maritime exploration and the political, economic, and scientific motives behind it. Writing essays on the literary and artistic response to the voyages as well, the contributors collectively provide a rich source for historians, geographers, and anyone interested in the history of voyage and travel.. NOTA: El libro no est� en espa�ol, sino en ingl�s.

The Shipping Rates and Speeds that appear with the book records are approximations. Factors such as the size and weight of the book, as well as the country of destination, may necessitate an adjustment to the cost of delivery. The policy of Basileia Books is that the customer pays for the actual cost of postage. The accounting system at abebooks necessitates a surcharge of approximately 13.5 percent above the actual costs. We will continue to offer customers the most desirable and cost-efficient means of delivery, despite the ever-rising prices. Basileia Books ships orders to customers through the United States Postal Service. Other shipping outlets are available upon special request. Among the options are DHL, Federal Express, and the United Parcel Service (UPS). For postage withing the USA, Basileia Books includes the charge for Signature Confirmation in the postage price with each book order. Customers who seek an exception to this policy must do so before finalizing a purchase from Basileia Books. Under no circumstances will Basileia Books be held liable for non-delivery of items that have been received by the Postal Service. Customers who want to insure an item in transit should make a request as part of the book order. In most cases, insurance will necessitate a modest increase in the price of postage. For delivery to destinations outside the USA, the standard method of delivery is First-Class Mail International at the United States Postal Service. International customers should be aware that although this is a reliable method, it does not provide insurance or tracking. In a small number of cases, the book may be delayed in delivery for several weeks or even a few months. International customers who prefer the security of insurance and/or tracking should indicate their preference at the time of placing an order, and Basileia Books will indicate the increased price for postage.
