Description
These maps changed our view of the world. Historical maps and atlases from many centuries. Maps as a means of diplomacy and a cause of war. How have maps shaped the course of history? When were the first maps created and for what purpose? What ideas of the world do maps depict? In this richly illustrated book, Philip Parker takes us on an exciting journey through the history of cartography.
Using the most important cartographic works and the history of their creation, he shows how the art of mapmaking has developed over the centuries and how the world as we know it has taken shape - from the first attempts by ancient civilisations to understand the world, to the first nautical charts and atlases in the late Middle Ages, to the digital mapping systems of today.
