- Framing the World is 110,000 word monograph drawing on sixteenth century and classical sources written in 8 languages and requiring research from two distinctly different time periods. It draws on extensive knowledge of classical Greek and Roman geographical thought and sixteenth century geographical and philosophical works. The book involves the collection and analysis of an extremely wide range of material some of which were lengthy monographs others fragmentary, untranslated classical sources. Most of the material was unindexed and required detailed reading in the original languages. The research and writing of the book took nearly fifteen years.
