Description
‘They are wise parents who give their children roots and wings - and a map’ - Chinese proverb. This book includes details of how the Lewis and Clark Expedition helped map the American West, and how the British mapped India and Australia; the beautifully engraved Dutch maps of the 16th century, and the sinister Utopian maps of the Nazis; the maps that presaged brilliant military campaigns, charted the geology of a nation, and that divided a continent between its European conquerors.
