An astrolabe is a primitive angle-measuring tool. It can be used to - very in-exactly! - measure the altitude above the horizon of a celestial body like the Sun, Moon or Polaris in order to calculate your position.
Medieval gunners used the astrolabe to calculate the height of towers and buildings, in order to more accurately aim their cannons.
Answer:
To be found in ¨The Age of Extremes¨ by Eric Hobsbawm
Explanation:
Hobsbawm states that the Cold War was based on a Western belief, absurd in retrospect but natural enough in the aftermath of the Second World War, that the Age of Catastrophe was by no means at an end. J.F. Kennedy, one of the most overrated presidents according to Hobsbawm, shows this belief by saying: ´The enemy is the communist system itself... this is a struggle for supremacy between two conflicting ideologies: freedom under God versus ruthless, godless tyranny.´
It is exactly this democratic freedom that ironically fueled the Cold War fire.
Where the Sovjet government didn´t have to bother about winning votes the U.S. government did.
Another element that contributed to move confrontation from the realm of reason to that of emotion was the schizoid demand of the vote-sensitive politicians to roll back the tide of ¨communist aggression¨.
On the other side of the globe the Sovjet government, with a country and economy in ruins after the Second World War, they needed all the economic help they could get to survive. So on any rational assessment the U.S.S.R. presented no immediate danger.
The trips of Marco Polo, also known as the book of wanders or the book of the million, is the title with which the travel book of the Venetian merchant Marco Polo, known in Italy as Il Milione (the million), is usually translated into Spanish.
Thee work is divided into four books. The first describes the lands of the Middle East and Central Asia that Marco Polo crossed on his trip to China. The second book talks about China and the court of Kublai Khan. The third describes several coastal regions of the east Japan, India, Sri Lanka and southeast Asia, as well as the east cost of Africa. The fourth book deals with the wars that the mongols held shortly before, and also describes some regions much further north, such as Russia.
