A History of the World in Twelve Maps by Jerry Brotton

3.0

An interesting look at some iconic maps and the historical settings in which they were developed. Unfortunately, there are quite a few proofing errors ("Amercia", mixing up bit and byte, punctuation errors) that made this quite tough going for me, especially since it's already so dense. It also seemed to me that the author didn't really understand what he was talking about in parts of the chapter on Google Earth. Still, pretty good on the whole.
