Naval operations and warfare were, and remain, a key element for
mapping. Maps were vital for commanders in drawing up plans of
attack, and their detail and usefulness have increased over the
centuries as the science of mapping has developed. This beautiful
book examines stunning original maps from a series of key conflicts
from the Spanish Armada, the American Wars of Independence, and the
Napoleonic wars to twentieth century conflicts from the First World
War to Vietnam, and explains how they were represented through
mapping and how the maps produced helped naval commanders to plan
their strategy.
A celebratory look back at one hundred years of passenger flight,
featuring full-colour reproductions of route maps and posters from
the world's most iconic airlines From the first faltering flights
over plains, water, and mountains to the vast networks of today,
air travel has transformed the world and how people see it. Maps
played their part in showing what was possible and who was offering
new opportunities. As tiny operations with barely serviceable
airplanes pushed out farther and farther, growing and merging to
form massive global empires, so the scope of their maps became
bigger and bolder, until the entire world was shrunk down to a
single sheet of paper. Designs featured sumptuous Art Deco style,
intricate artistry, bold modernism, 60s psychedelia, clever
photography, and even underground map-style diagrams. For the first
time, Mark Ovenden and Maxwell Roberts chart the development of the
airline map, and in doing so tell the story of a century of
cartography, civil aviation, graphic design and marketing. Airline
Maps is a visual feast that reminds the reader that mapping the
journey is an essential part of arriving at the destination.
