Editorial Reviews
Review
"Few history lovers can resist old maps and Lez Smart's collection in Maps That Made History: The Influential, The Eccentric and The Sublime will be no exception. The book features full-color maps on nearly every page covering subjects such as a 13th-century map with Christ and angels looming over the world to the London tube map, first created in the 1930s. Each featured map has an explanation along with detailed blow-ups of the image." - History Magazine, September 2005
"Each map in this book's generously illustrated, jewel-toned pages calls forth intriguing stories from the well-stocked mind of British educator Lez Smart." - The Globe and Mail, Saturday, August 6, 2005

Book Description
This collection features maps that chart societies, land, sea, and skies; maps that have influenced and inspired; and perhaps most revealing of all, maps that misrepresent.
