Created for map lovers by map lovers, this book explores the
intriguing stories behind maps across history and illuminates how
the ancient art of cartography still thrives today. In this
visually stunning book, award-winning journalists Betsy Mason and
Greg Miller--authors of the National Geographic cartography blog
"All Over the Map"--explore the intriguing stories behind maps from
a wide variety of cultures, civilizations, and time periods. Based
on interviews with scores of leading cartographers, curators,
historians, and scholars, this is a remarkable selection of
fascinating and unusual maps--some never before published. This
diverse compendium includes ancient maps of dragon-filled seas,
elaborate maps of hidden worlds from inside Earth to outer space,
devious maps created by spies, and cutting-edge data-based
cartography showing the ebb and flow of modern cities. If your
brain craves maps--and Mason and Miller would say it does, whether
you know it or not--this eye-opening visual feast will inspire and
delight.
