Maps have profoundly influenced how humanity perceives the world and its place within it. Far from being purely objective, maps are inherently ideological, reflecting the power structures and beliefs of their time and creators. In this book, Jerry Brotton analyzes twelve significant maps, from ancient representations to modern satellite imagery. He reconstructs the contexts in which each map was created, demonstrating how they offer unique perspectives and shape contemporary events.
