The New Yorker
Following 'An Atlas of Rare City Maps' and 'Bird's Eye Views' comes this stunning cartographic anthology that examines verticality in mapping from ancient Iraq to the twenty-first century. In these colorful pages, mountains and molehills bubble up in relief maps of Imperial Roman highways and Leonardo's Tuscany, while the dramatic contours of the Grand Canyon are captured in exquisitely accurate, eye-popping 3-D, courtesy of the futuristic Ambroziak Infinite Perspective Projection.
Thomas Fleming, author of Liberty! The American Revolution
"A rare combination of technology and a passion for making history come alive has produced a revolution in mapmaking. This is a book that anyone interested in history will read with fascination."
