modern maps aren't always better,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Image of the World: 20 Centuries of World Maps (Paperback)
What a fetish we have made of accuracy and precision in maps! These maps--even the mediaevil ones showing the location of the Garden of Eden--are coherent world views. Many of the maps have been restored to their original look.Hard to know where to draw the line between art, science, religion and history. Excellent text.

This review is from: The Image of the World: 20 Centuries of World Maps (Hardcover)
I keep coming back to this book. Intelligent. Graced with beautiful design. Now if I only had unlimited income to spend on old maps.
