Book Description

Maps are universal forms of communication, easily understood and appreciated regardless of culture or language. This truly magisterial book introduces readers to the widest range of maps ever considered in one volume: maps from different time periods and a variety of cultures; maps made for divergent purposes and depicting a range of environments; and maps that embody the famous, the important, the beautiful, the groundbreaking, or the amusing. Built around the functions of maps--the kinds of things maps do and have done--Maps confirms the vital role of maps throughout history in commerce, art, literature, and national identity.UK Price: 45GBP
