The famous British scientist professor John Perry represents the history of European geographical research and discoveries, the development of trade and settlements outside Europe from the beginning of the XV to the end of the 17th century. It was an era when Europe discovered peace outside its territory. It began with Henry of the navigator and Portuguese travel and ended 250 years later, when the intelligence was almost completed. Professor Perry considers political, economic and religious incentives that prompted Europeans for research and conquests, and also analyzes the nature and problems of their settlements on colonized lands. The author draws attention to the fact that this era witnessed not only the fastest spread of geographical knowledge in Europe, but also the beginning of the close connection of pure science and technology with practical life. And he notes that it was during this period, especially in his second half, European scientists outlined the contours of the physical universe that we know.
