Description

Why do we put north at the top of maps? Which maps show us the way to heaven, and which show the 'land of no sunshine' or the land of 'people with no bowels'? In 'Great Maps', author and historian Jerry Brotton tells the hidden story behind more than 60 of the most significant maps from around the world, picking out key features, stories, and techniques in rich visual detail to reveal the inner meaning buried within the landscape.
