Maps That Changed The World
John O. E. Clark
An ancient Chinese proverb suggests, 'They are wise parents who give their children roots and wings - and a map.' Maps That Changed the World features some of the world's most famous maps, stretching back to a time when cartography was in its infancy and the 'edge of the world' was a barrier to exploration. The book includes details of how the Lewis and Clark Expedition helped map the American West, and how the British mapped India and Australia. Included are the beautifully engraved Dutch maps
