Trade Paperback. Condition: Very Good. 1st Printing. First printing. Remainder mark, top corner of rear cover and pages creased. 2013 Trade Paperback. xix, 521 pp. ?[A] mesmerizing and beautifully illustrated book.? ?The Telegraph (London) "Maps are objects of endless fascination, and the urge to map is a basic human instinct. In this masterful study, historian and cartography expert Jerry Brotton reveals how maps?far from being objective documents?are intimately tied to the views and agendas of particular times and places. Beginning with Ptolemy?s Geography and ending with the satellite-powered behemoth of Google Earth, Brotton examines a dozen world maps from around the globe and through the centuries to trace the long road to our present geographical reality. This is the kind of book map lovers and history buffs adore. Beautifully illustrated and brilliantly original, 'A History of the World in 12 Maps' was a hit in the U.K. and certain to work its cartographic magic on American audiences." Colored maps from around the world throughout the ages included.

Book
A History of the World in Twelve Maps Hardcover, 544 pages. In this masterful study, historian and cartography expert Jerry Brotton explores a dozen of history's most influential maps, from stone tablet to vibrant computer screen. Starting with Ptolemy, "father of modern geography," and ending with satellite cartography, A History of the World in 12 Maps brings maps from classical Greece, Renaissance Europe, and the Islamic and Buddhist worlds to life and reveals their influence on how we literally look at our present world. As Brotton shows, the long road to our present geographical reality was rife with controversy, manipulation, and special interests trumping science. Through the centuries maps have been wielded to promote any number of imperial, religious, and economic agendas, and have represented the idiosyncratic and uneasy fusion of science and subjectivity. Brotton also conjures the worlds that produced these notable works of cartography and tells the stories of those who created, used, and misused them for their own end.
