MAP: Exploring the World
by manz
The 300 maps on the pages of Map: Exploring the World are paired in such a way that they complement or contrast each other, rather than be presented in chronological order. This big and beautiful book includes old maps, modern maps, and everything in between. A variety of artistic style and presentation of information in the maps look amazing on the pages of this new book.
You’ll find maps of the depth of the world’s oceans, a map of Vesuvius, survey maps, a serio-comic war map, astrological charts, a geologic map of Mars, a bird migration map, star charts, population maps, sea charts, maps of Disney Land and Hollywood, maps of the brain, and plenty of world maps and state maps, among many others. Included with each map is a rich blurb about the map and its creator.
Also included is a very interesting and brief timeline of cartography and a timeline of world history. It's great from an artistic point of view, as well as history!
