A richly illustrated collection that maps twenty historical journeys.

Adventures in Maps features twenty awe-inspiring journeys, ranging in distances from a few miles to great treks across land, sea, air, and space. Some chart the route a traveler followed, while some are the fruits of exploration, and others were made to help future travelers find their way.

Among these maps are sea charts depicting the sixteenth-century adventures of Richard Hawkins sailing to South America, the surveys of Captain James Cook, and the route followed by pioneering solo yachtswoman Naomi James. On land, we travel North America’s Route 66, follow the archaeological expeditions of David Hogarth along the Euphrates and Aurel Stein on the Silk Road, experience Thomas Cook’s first package tour, and move with pilgrims making their way across Europe. By air and space, we learn the stories of the Arctic explorations needed to enable a Great Circle route by air over Greenland, the first flight from London to Manchester, and the surveys of the Moon that ultimately facilitated the first landing.

These inspirational accounts are drawn from diaries, letters, memoirs, and travelogues: all illustrated with fascinating, beautiful maps.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"As is so often the way with technological advancement, what we've gained in sophisticated efficiency we've lost in the romance of exploration. Debbie Hall's stirringly beautiful book taps into this [sense] exactly, with the author rightfully aligning maps with journeys and all they represent in terms of human development." ― The Field

This is a wonderful exploration of the history of maps and the adventures of those who have used them over the centuries, with stunning reproductions of the maps themselves. Full of inspiration for map geeks and armchair travellers!
