Description
Maps have influenced humanity in many unexpected ways: exploration, economics, espionage, war and peace. In this book, father-and-son cartographers Alexander and Malcolm Swanston demonstrate the skill, creativity and care involved in the timeless art of creating maps - and what these artefacts reveal about the legion of human conceptions and misconceptions of our world across thousands of years.
