Mapping a Changing World

by Yvette LaPierre

This engaging book, using over forty magnificent color reproductions of antique and new maps, shows how maps have evolved over the centuries, beginning with a Babylonian etching on a clay tablet and ending with a radar image taken from the space shuttle Endeavor.

Great book. Interesting to note how little of the current world we really knew until the advent of satellite imagery.
