Description
Adventures in Maps takes you on twenty awe-inspiring journeys through history, from a few miles to great treks across land, sea, air, and space. These maps showcase the routes of explorers, travelers, and adventurers, each with its own unique story.
From the sixteenth-century voyages of Richard Hawkins to the pioneering solo yachtswoman Naomi James, these journeys are brought to life through beautiful, illustrated maps. You'll follow the archaeological expeditions of David Hogarth along the Euphrates, experience Thomas Cook's first package tour, and move with pilgrims making their way across Europe.
These inspirational accounts are drawn from diaries, letters, memoirs, and travelogues, offering a fascinating glimpse into the past. With its richly illustrated collection of maps, Adventures in Maps is a must-have for anyone interested in history, exploration, or simply discovering new stories.
