Concerned that the image would disorientate viewers, NASA inverted it, reinforcing a sense of direction that has no real basis but which has come to dominate contemporary societies. As he traces the development of the cardinal points, Jerry Brotton highlights their role in shaping human cultures.\nABOUT US\nDELIVERY RETURNS\nPostscript is a long-established mail order company specialising in good quality publishers' overstocks and remainder books at discounts of up to 80% off the published price.
