Praise for previous editions of Maps and Civilization:
“A marvelous compendium of map lore. Anyone truly interested in the development of cartography will want to have his or her own copy to annotate, underline, and index for handy referencing.”—L. M. Sebert, Geomatica
“Maps and Civilization should continue to find a wide readership by all those seeking a concise, interesting and enjoyable introduction to the history of cartography.”—Chris Fleet, Geographical Journal
“An easily digestible rather than encyclopedic volume, backed by an authority of thorough scholarship.”—Terry G. Birtles, Cartography
“The premier one-volume history of cartography. . . . Maps and Civilization should be a close companion for anyone interested in maps: where they came from, where they are now, and where to go for more detail.”—John P. Snyder, Mercator's World
