Description
This debut book from YouTube sensation The Map Men features a world of cartographic blunders and mappy mishaps. Each chapter uncovers a unique tale of adventure, error and unexpected humour as they attempt to answer the question: ‘What on earth happened here?’ It includes colonial maps, collaborative maps, corporate maps, Soviet maps, pioneer maps, news maps and maps whose intended use was hijacked for a French surrealist political movement in the 1950s. So, ditch the compass (or open settings and tap ‘disable location services’) and join them on a journey into cartographic chaos.
