The First Book of Maps and Globes

Reading about world events in the newspaper; telling a guest how to get to one's house; planning a trip; camping out in the mountains; plotting a position at the sea -- in all these situations, and many more. people turn to maps. And indeed, ask Sam and Beryl Epstein, how would we get along without maps in our busy modern life?
Sketch maps and highway maps, coastal charts and contour maps -- these are among the many kinds of maps that the authors explain in clear and simple terms. They also show the importance of globes for understanding the "great-circle routes" or our air age.
The book is illustrated with informal maps and drawings b Laszlo Roth, and with professional maps prepared by C.S. Hammond & Company.

Now retired, GEORGE L. WYBENGA was professor in the Packaging Design Program at the Fashion Institute of Technology and succeeded Laszlo Roth as chairperson. He remains active as a consultant to the packaging industry.

The late LASZLO ROTH was chairperson of the Packaging Design Program at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York.
