About This Item
Walker Books, 2005 4to (30 x 26 cm), 360 pp. Publisher's boards and dust jacket (dj slightly rubbed at extremities). "Head of Map Collections at the British Library, Peter Barber has here compiled an historic and lavish atlas, charting the progress of civilization as our knowledge of the world expanded. Simply organized as a progression through time, The Map Book collects some 175 maps that span four millennia - from the famed prehistoric Bedolina (Italy) incision in rock from around 1500 B.C. to the most modern, digitally enhanced rendering. Many of the maos are beautiful works of art in their own right." (from the publisher's synopsis)
