[ 3.0 stars ] "This should have been great. It's right up my alley being, like Michael Jordan, a geography major and fellow map addict. The problem with this book is manyfold (all folded map puns intended).First of all, it's way too Britcentric.

[ 5.0 stars ] "I really enjoyed this book. Simon Garfield clearly loves maps and he shows us how maps have been essential to our lives since the beginning of human history. He takes us on a journey through all the major milestones in the history of maps and each chapter is a little story in itself. Really, each chapter is a stepping stone for further research and gives us a just a brief introductory look at each ..." Courtesy by Amazon
