DK Smithsonian GreatMaps - The World's masterpieces explored and explained
What is map? The word "map" was first used in English in the 16 century and , despite more than 300 subsequent, compecting interpretations of the term, most scholars now broadly agree that a map can be defined as "a graphic representation that presents a spatial understanding of things, concepts, or events in the human word.
Great Maps superbly illustrates maps from all around the world, analyzing each map visually with the help of pull-outs and graphic close-up details. It traces the history of maps chronologically, featuring key cartographers and telling the story behind each map: why it was created, who it was for, and how it was achieved. This amazing guide draws together navigation, propaganda, power, art, and politics through the world's greatest maps.
