Reader Reviews
As an avid lover of old maps, this book is very prized on my bookshelf. Each page contains large full-color pictures of maps throughout the age of exploration. Emphasis is placed on showing how not only the trade of map-making progressed, by showing maps throughout their development, but also on the progress of geographical knowledge over time. See the imaginary continents and coastlines of antiquity slowly develop into the familiar face of the world on today's maps. Adding to the pictures are their backgrounds and the backgrounds of the men, nations, and times that created them. The book is richly informative and offers numerous anecdotes and historical accounts to go along with the maps. A must have for anyone who enjoys history and geography.
