William Desborough Cooley (1795-1883) was a geographer and historian, the author of a collection of influential texts on the development of geographical study, and a key founding member of the Hakluyt Society. First published as a complete set in 1831 as part of Dionysius Lardner's Cabinet Cyclopaedia, this is the history in three volumes of the development of the geographical sciences through travel and exploration. Each volume is divided chronologically by historical era, tracing the pursuit of geographical discovery by both land and sea from the Roman Empire to the Himalayan expeditions of the early 19th century. With a comprehensive index, this reference text will aid any study of the history of travel and exploration. This third volume includes a detailed section on scholarly contributions to contemporary geographical study, and accounts of the voyages of Captain Cook and Alexander von Humboldt.

The publications of the Hakluyt Society (founded in 1846) made available edited (and sometimes translated) early accounts of exploration. The first series, which ran from 1847 to 1899, consists of 100 books containing published or previously unpublished works by authors from Christopher Columbus to Sir Francis Drake, and covering voyages to the New World, to China and Japan, to Russia and to Africa and India. This 1868 volume contains the first English translation of Hernán Cortés' 1526 report to Emperor Charles V on his expedition from Mexico to Honduras to subdue the rebellion in the Spanish colony which had been founded there. The colony was used to supply native workers for the Spanish Caribbean plantations, and was a recurring source of trouble for its overlords. The early years of Spanish colonisation in Central and South America were marked by power-struggles between the Conquistadors themselves, as this account shows.

Née en Europe au XVIe siècle, la science moderne est l'héritière des traditions savantes de l'Ancien Monde. Son essor est étroitement lié aux grandes mutations de l'époque moderne : développement des échanges et découverte du Nouveau Monde, divisions confessionnelles, formation des États modernes, émergence de nouvelles techniques ... S'appuyant sur les travaux les plus récents en histoire des sciences, ce livre explore les différentes facettes de cette histoire. Il retrace l'exploration du monde à la Renaissance, analyse ce qu'il est convenu d'appeler parfois la révolution scientifique, de Copernic à Newton, et décrit la place centrale occupée par les sciences dans le mouvement des Lumières. Il montre comment la science moderne a accompagné pendant trois siècles le processus de sécularisation qui caractérise la modernité.
