Terra Incognita
Curled together in the refuge of their treehouse, two children enjoy a book of scientific wonders. In the alchemy of imagination, homemade spacesuits become real, the treehouse opens onto the surface of Mars, and history’s great pathfinders gather between the world they know and the one they may someday explore.
John Harrison and his maritime chronometer, Cook’s Endeavour, Nicolaus Copernicus, Galileo Galilei, Rosalind Franklin, Alan Turing and the Saturn V trace a luminous continuum of human curiosity and achievement. Each once faced terra incognita—unknown territory on the map, in the heavens, within the structure of life or at the frontiers of computation—and made it more knowable for those who followed.
Bryan Larsen’s Terra Incognita is both tribute and promise. Today’s children inherit the discoveries of the past, but not a finished world. With knowledge in their hands and wonder alive in their minds, they are already imagining the next horizon. Here, the unknown is not a darkness to fear, but an invitation.
