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 creators and users, from the first explorers to the soldiers of the Second World War. 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.","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44135751418075,"sku":"9781903365649-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/products\/9781903365649-us-300.jpg?v=1685966890","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9781903365649-secondhand-maps-that-made-history-the-influential-the-eccentric-and-the-sublime","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
