Description
Understanding the location of water sources, fruit trees and dens was crucial for survival. No society has ever thrived without some form of mental map of its surroundings. This mental mapping gave rise to cartography.
The origins of maps are explored through the story of pioneers in cartography whose ideas have shaped our world today. This book presents a unique opportunity to uncover the secrets of ancient and mysterious maps, including Polynesian navigation charts, Babylonian tablets and rock-carved routes.
By examining these examples, we gain insight into how the foundations of modern civilization were laid, stone by stone and grain by grain.
