Description: 2006, Walker & Company360 pp, 10 1/4 x 12 x 7/8" A beautifully crafted book From the dj:"Simply organized as a progression through time, 'The Map ook' collects some 175 maps that span four millennia from the famedprehistoric Bedolina (Italy) incisions in rock from around 1500B.B. to the most modern, digitally enhanced rendering. Many of themaps are beautiful works of art in their own right. From Europe tothe Americas, Africa to Asia, north to south, there are maps ofoceans and continents charted by heroic adventurers sailing intothe unknown; as accounts spread of new discoveries, shadowycontinents began to appear on the margins of the world, oftenlabeled 'unknown lands.' Other maps had a more practical use: somedemarcated national boundaries or individual plots of land; militaryplans depicted enemy positions; propaganda treatises showed one country or faction at an advantage over others." --You must see my Ebay bookstore-Great PandasAt the top of this page click on: Visit store.Sort: ending soonest, to shop by orderly categories.
