| Summary |
"From ancient Babylon to the Google age, the world has evolved rapidly along with the ways we see it. In this time, cartography has not only kept pace with, and reflected these changes, but has often driven them. In this beautiful book, over 70 maps give a visual representation of the history of the world."--Cover. |
