Stories of Geography. An illustrated history of explorers' maps featuring full-colour reproductions of examples from the ancient world to the nineteenth century. Over and above their practical function, maps reveal their makers' worldview as well as the myths, beliefs and legends of their time. By patiently creating maps, globes, charts and atlases, humans have sought to understand the universe and our place in it. This book explores many rare and fascinatng artefacts, beginning with the first crude drawings and progressing to the fascinatng satellite views of today. Many of these examples will be unfamiliar even to serious cartographers and collectors.
