The Mapmakers by John Noble Wilford

Who hasn’t been fascinated by the names on a map, or stopped a spinning globe with their finger? Humans still long to discover what maps can tell us about ourselves, and the potential they hold to tell us about the rest of the universe. In a new introduction Simon Garfield, bestselling author of On the Map: Why the World Looks the Way it Does, describes The Mapmakers as a ‘magisterial sweep of cartographic wonders’, and speaks of the joy John Noble Wilford takes in these stories of discovery. The definitive history of the pioneers of cartography.
