300 stunning maps from all periods and from all around the world,
exploring and revealing what maps tell us about history and
ourselves. Map, Exploring the World brings together more than 300
fascinating maps from the birth of cartography to cutting-edge
digital maps of the twenty-fist century. The book's unique
arrangement, with the maps organized in complimentary or
contrasting pairs, reveals how the history of our attempts to make
flat representations of the world has been full of beauty,
ingenuity and innovation. Selected by an international panel of
curators, academics and collectors, the maps reflect the many
reasons people make maps, such as to find their way, to assert
ownership, to record human activity, to establish control, to
encourage settlement, to plan military campaigns or to show
political power. The selection includes the greatest names in
cartography, such as James Cook, Gerard Mercator, Matthew Fontaine
Maury and Phyllis Pearsall, as well as maps from indigenous
cultures around the world, rarely seen maps from lesser known
cartographers, and maps of outstanding beauty and surprising
individuality from the current generation of map makers. Advisory
