Knowing where water or fruit-bearing trees or a safe refuge is located has always been a matter of life or death. No society has been able to survive or develop without some kind of map, even if it is only mental, of its environment. And the representation of this mental map with signs gave rise to the birth of cartography.
Edward Dalmau, a cartographer himself, attempts to document the beginnings of cartography, following the path of its pioneers, whose thinking shaped the world as we know it today.
Through this narrative, complemented by various examples that impress with their antiquity, rarity, and richness - Polynesian navigational charts, Babylonian tablets, routes carved in stone - the book The Maps that Changed the World offers us a unique opportunity to decipher the secret and most mysterious maps of the Earth.
Edward Dalmau's book is a piece of history that reveals how, bit by bit, stone by stone, the foundations of our civilization were laid.
