About

A compilation of maps charting the progress of civilization as our knowledge of the world expanded. 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.
