Extractions: Petrus Apianus (also known as Peter Apian, Peter Bennewitz, Peter Bienewitz) was born in Leisnig, Saxony in 1495. He first studied mathematics, astronomy and the other branches of cosmography at Leipzig and then Vienna. Prior to Cosmographia (1524), Apianus published two cosmographical works, a compiled world map ( Typus orbis universalis ) and an accompanying geographical commentary. In 1527, Apianus was appointed Professor of Mathematics at the University of Ingolstadt. Perhaps his most celebrated work, the Astronomicon Caesareum , was presented to the Emperor Charles V in 1540. This sumptuous book provided a cosmographical introduction similar to that in the Cosmographia but in a more elaborate and elegant way. Apianus' relationship with Charles V dated to least the early 1530's when Apianus was granted an imperial privilege. However, it has been suggested the young emperor may have studied cosmography under Apianus even earlier still. Following the publication of the Astronomicon Caesareum , Apianus was appointed court mathematician to Charles V, and was knighted along with his three brothers. In the following years, the success of Apianus' books and his favor with the emperor brought him a substantial degree of wealth, prestige and power. In 1544, he was granted special legal privileges, including the authority to legitimize illegitimate children and to grant higher degrees. Throughout his life, Apianus was involved in mathematical publishing, cartography and instrument making. His instrument designs included a new type of surveying quadrant and armillary spheres. Apianus died in Ingolstadt at the age of 57 in 1552.

Extractions: Map History Gateway The earliest seeds of visualization arose in geometric diagrams, in tables of the positions of stars and other celestial bodies, and in the making of maps to aid in navigation and exploration. We list only a few of these here to provide some early context against which later developments can be viewed. In the 16th century, techniques and instruments for precise observation and measurement of physical quantities were well-developed. As well, we see initial ideas for capturing images directly, and recording mathematical functions in tables. These early steps comprise the beginnings of the husbandry of visualization.

Scientific Disciplines : Anatomy; Medicine; Mcr; His name is especially connected with anatomy, particularly the skeletal system, which he summarized in Anatomes ossium novis inventis illustrata (1689). The book contains the first description of a case of what was presumably tuberculosis of the bone. He carried out morphological and microscopic investigations on human bones, using chemical reagents in order to bring out the fine structure. In 1720 he did a close study of the pneumonia epidemic raging in Rome. His study was anatomicopathological in approach and based on carefully conducted autopsies. The study led to his Relazione de' male di petto , 1720. He also published other medical works.

Extractions: Dear Rodney, As requested. Might me a bit lenghty...but worth it. A votre service. stef " Mercator's map of the arctic appeared first as a vignette in his 1569 world map. This enlarged (the one I've sent you) version was published posthumously by his son in the third and final part of his atlas, the first publication to be so named. The arctic had yet to be explored at the time Mercator created his map and is, therefore, based upon commonly held beliefs about the region. Mercator's map inspired explorers like the Englishman Martin Frobisher to seek a northwest passage to China. In turn, the expeditions of Frobisher and others advanced the charting of the arctic. SOURCE: http://www.folger.edu/institute/course_03.cfm On myth related to north pole : ".....Frej was the first Bock, the first member of the Aser. Aser were the pipol (pronounced "pee-pol", means people) living inside Odemna (pronounced "uuu-den-maaa), a ringland, a sunland, a motherland, an eternal land, 250 km in diameter, the exact center of which was Hel (means "clear", "home" and "complete"), located at the original north pole of the bal we call Earth before Ice Time when its axis of rotation was yet perpendicular to its plane of orbit around the Sun. Freja was the first Svan, the first feminine member of the Aser, the first matar. Thus inside Odenma, surrounding the north pole before the Earth's axial declination, the Sun would appear to circle the horizon 24 hours a day, while at the equator the days were equally divided, 12 hours with sun, 12 hours without, there being no seasons as were caused by the later shifting of the axis, occurring, according to the linguistics, 50,010,011 years ago, on July 24."

Extractions: The darkened room, or camera obscura evolved into a portable room which could be moved around in the landscape and was used by Renaissance artists as an aid to rendering perspective (drawing). By about 1570 a simple lens that produced a brighter image which was easier to trace had replaced the pinhole. In its most common form in the early 1800s, the camera obscura was a simple box with a lens at one end. The lens projected an image onto a 45 o mirror, which in turn was reflected onto a ground glass screen (the same principle used in reflex camera systems today) - the image could then be traced on translucent paper laid over the glass. Observation and experimentation into the light sensitive properties of the silver halides dates back to the early 1700s but it wasn't until 1826 that Joseph Niepse, a French lithographer, produced the worlds first "photograph from nature" using light sensitive Bitumen of Judea on pewter in a camera obscura - the exposure time is reputed to have been around eight hours!

Extractions: Gemma Frisius (or Reiner Gemma December 9 May 25 , 1555) was a mathematician cartographer and instrument maker. He created important globes , improved the mathematical instruments of his day and applied mathematics in new ways to surveying and navigation. He was born in Dokkum Friesland (present-day Netherlands) of poor parents, who died when he was young. Though a poor orphan, he studied at Louvain beginning in 1525. He received the degree of MD in 1536 and remained on the faculty of medicine at Louvain for the rest of his life. While still a student, Frisius set up a workshop to produce globes and mathematical instruments. He became noted for the quality and accuracy of his instruments, which were praised by Tycho Brahe , among others. In 1533, he described for the first time the method of triangulation still used today in surveying. Twenty years later, he was the first to describe how an accurate clock to could be used to determine longitude . Frisius created or improved many instruments, including the cross-staff, the astrolabe and the astronomical rings. His students included
