ew people can resist the appeal of old maps and plans. Even in these days of disposable mapping - from satellite navigation to customized road directions at the click of a mouse - the historical map continues to present a unique perspective on our changing world. Here we explore 25 glorious examples. The emphasis is on the story behind the map: what it reveals about its creator and users, from the first explorers to the railway builders. This thought-provoking collection features maps that chart societies as well as land, sea, and skies; maps that have influenced and inspired; and perhaps most revealing of all, maps that misrepresent.

I think this is one of my favorite map books. Smart has organized the contents into five Chapters, The Early Mapmakers, The Quest For Riches, Challenging Perceptions, Winning the Day and Fantasy and Fantastical. There are five stores and examples of maps within each chapter. This organizational format assures that the book will not be just another collection of old maps, rather it shows the relationships of history to mapmaking and that maps can also make history.
