A Map of the World (updated and Extended Version) by Antonis Antoniou
The world of contemporary mapmaking is brought up-to-date in this revised and expanded edition of a best-selling book. For centuries we have used the tools of cartography to represent both our immediate surroundings and the world at large--and to convey them to others. In our age of satellite navigation systems and Google Maps, personal interpretations of the geography around us are becoming even more relevant. A new generation of designers, illustrators, and mapmakers have been discovering their passion for various forms of illustrative cartography and A Map of the World is a compelling collection of their work. This updated edition contains even more examples of their output, ranging from detailed representations to personal, naive, and contemporary interpretations.Antonis Antoniou is attracted by the manner in which immaterial images may bring tangible objects to life. He was born and raised on the island of Cyprus, where he developed an early fascination in colors and patterns. He works as an architect when he's not obsessively developing maps and lists.
