Sách Mapping the Great Game Explorers, Spies and Maps in 19th-century Asia (Sách keo gáy, bìa mềm)

The work of explorers, surveyors and spies in the

race to conquer Southern Asia is vividly recounted in this history of

British imperial cartography. In the 19th century, the British and

Russian empires were engaged in bitter rivalry for the acquisition of

Southern Asian. Although India was the ultimate prize, most of the

intrigue and action took place along its northern frontier in

Afghanistan, Turkestan and Tibet. Mapping the region and gaining

knowledge of the enemy were crucial to the interests of both sides. The

Great Trigonometrical Survey of India began in the 18th century with the

aim of creating a detailed map of the subcontinent. Under the

leadership of George Everest—whose name was later bestowed to the

world’s tallest mountain—the it mapped the Great Arc running from the

country’s southern tip to the Himalayas. Much of the work was done by

Indian explorers known as Pundits. They were the first to reveal the

mysteries of the forbidden city of Lhasa, and discover the true course

of Tibet’s mighty Tsangpo River. These explorers performed essential

information gathering for the British Empire and filled in large

portions of the map of Asia. Their adventurous exploits are vividly

recounted in Mapping the Great Game.
