Cartographies of Disease: Maps, Mapping, and Medicine por Tom Koch
Exhaustive. And at the same time exhausting.
One would expect a book entitled Disease Maps would be a book full of maps with appropriate commentary. Instead this is a book full of commentary about maps, some of which are illustrated. Many maps are described but not illustrated.
Unfortunately, most of the maps included are far too small to read, even with a magnifying glass. Some enlarged inserts are included, but one insert asking the reader to compare Copenhagen and London with German cities shows only the German cities.
There are also numerous typos such as "1855 to 1805" (should be "1755 to 1805") and one map of India is captioned as being of England.
This book should have been a much larger format, in order to reproduce the maps at a better scale, and should have included all the maps described.
I am a lover of maps, not diseases, and so am very disappointed in this volume.… (más)
