This striking book provides a detailed look at primary source maps across the globe dating from ancient civilization to the present. Index. This is not an atlas but a collection of maps from the earliest to Google Earth. What I especially liked about it was the way the authors have designed it so that one can kind-of zoom in on a few features. They have small sections of the overall map enlarged with explanations of what you are actually seeing. It's interesting how we (I) have grown used to interpreting maps.....North to the top......main features having the same physical relationship on the map as they do in an aerial photo and some preservation of size relativities. But clearly, not all maps have been like this. Some maps...such as the Babylonian combine mythology into the map...but most of the maps chosen here represent the world or parts of the world for the purposes of navigation or understanding. I liked it very much. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
