The Globemakers

"The Globemakers" by Peter Bellerby, read by Simon Ludders, offers an inside look into the craftsmanship and history of globemaking, blending art, science, and passion. It follows Bellerby's journey of creating a globe for his father's birthday, which eventually led to the founding of Bellerby & Co, one of the last artisan globemaking studios. The audiobook explores the significance of globes as visual tools that reflect our understanding of the universe, told through stories from within Bellerby's studio.
