Description

A is for Atlas: Wonders of Maps and Mapping is a fascinating exploration of maps, charts, atlases and globes.

Through a series of unique themes, this book reveals stories about objects produced centuries apart, showing the very different worlds in whichmaps were produced and consumed.

From sumptuous globes designed for display to sketches drawn on scrap paper, from tales of buried treasure to cutting political satire and from imperial mapping to twenty-first-century projects that challenge contemporary border policies, each object in this lavishly illustrated volume is valuable for what it reveals about the hands that made it and the society that shaped it.
