Tag hinzufügen | Zusammenfassung: | Maps that Made History' takes you on a 1000 year long journey around the world. Every one of the 100 carefully selected maps has influenced the course of history. The maps were used to resolve a conflict, during a battle, for the construction of a road or a canal, on an important shipping route and as a propaganda tool. They visualised territories and developments for the first time or in a very unique way. Some maps remained curiosities, others became world famous. This book compiles 100 marvellous and old maps, 100 interesting stories and 250 extra full colour illustrations. From a Persian world atlas from the 12th century to a soviet spy map. From Leiden to Ceylon, Guyana, Philadelphia and the Sahara. Each map is shown in large dimensions. An experienced team of historians then explains how this map has written history.
