Great Maps by Jerry Brotton
Why do we put north at the top of maps? Which maps show us the way to Heaven, and which show the "land of no sunshine" or the land of "people with no bowels"? This book looks at the history of maps, from ancient maps such as medieval mappae mundi to Google Earth.You might also like
