This large-sized volume presents the study and practice of mapping/cartography from the earliest existing examples all the way to the beginning of the modern age (ca. 1900). The author gathers some 200 maps from around the world, designed to provide a primarily pictorial history of mapping and the skills associated in recording humanity's relationship with the planet. After an historical introduction, which includes biographies of the world's most important cartographers and a glossary of terms, four chronological chapters cover the period up to the end of the sixteenth century -- the bulk of the book -- to the seventeenth, eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
