The Atlas of Atlases: Exploring the Most Important Atlases in History and the Cartographers Who Made Them

This beautiful book is a lavishly illustrated look at the most important atlases in history and the cartographers who made them. Atlases are books that changed the course of history. Pored over by rulers, explorers, and adventures these books were used to build empires, wage wars, encourage diplomacy, and nurture trade.

@bookstodon



Written by Philip Parker, an authority on the history of maps, this book brings these fascinating artefacts to life, offering a unique, lavishly illustrated guide to the history of these incredible books and the cartographers behind them.   All key cartographic works from the last half-millennium are covered, including: The Theatrum Orbis Terrarum, considered the world’s first atlas and produced in 1570 by the Dutch, geographer Abraham Ortelius,  The 17th-century Klencke β€” one of the world’s largest books that requires 6 people to carry it,  The Rand McNally Atlas of 1881, still in print today and a book that turned its makers, William H Rand and Andrew McNally into cartographic royalty. This beautiful book will engross readers with its detailed, visually stunning illustrations and fascinating story of how map-making has developed throughout human history.

I don’t know if any time of my life has blurred together more than the last four years

A meme of TinTin speaking to Captain.

Captain, looking defeated, says β€œ2020 has been a hell of a year”

TinTin replies β€œCaptain, it’s almost 2024”

Sign: Please Do Not Eat in the Library.

The ants will get in. They will learn how to read. Then, they will get too smart. Knowledge is Power. Power Corrupts. So... the ants will turn evil and take over the world.

I hate to hear you talk about all women as if they were fine ladies instead of rational creatures. None of us want to be in calm waters all our lives. - Jane Austen, Persuasion
