内容説明
This work, first published as "Maps and Man", provides a concise introduction to the history of cartography. In this edition, the author has expanded his survey to include recent revolutions in cartography and new research on indigenous and early Western maps carried out since the publication of the first edition. The book presents maps rare in reproduction that reflect the cultural and scientific evolution of societies from ancient Egypt and early China to contemporary Western civilization. From the oldest known map to current CD-ROM maps for automobiles and new forms of cartography created in the computer-based field of Geographical Information Systems (GIS), the author shows how maps have changed in response to new demands to describe where we live, mark territory, plan communities, plot military strategy, navigate oceans, track weather, measure traffic flow or chart the heavens.
