Maps fascinate us. They chart our understanding of the world and they log our progress, but above all they tell our stories. From the early sketches of philosophers and explorers through to Google Maps and beyond, Simon Garfield examines how maps both relate and realign our history. His compelling narratives range from the quest to create the perfect globe to the challenges of mapping Africa and Antarctica, from spellbinding treasure maps to the naming of America, from Ordnance Survey to the mapping of Monopoly and Skyrim and from rare map dealers to cartographic frauds.

Wonderful in every way.
Revisado: 04-15-16
On the Map is filled with wonder - at our world and beyond and how man/woman has tried to capture the three dimensional in two. Garfield never misses the opportunity for a touch of humor and also never misses the placing of an apt analogy at the right point.
The reading is lively and modulated in the right places.
Just wonderful.

When Helen MacDonald's father died suddenly on a London street, she was devastated. An experienced falconer captivated by hawks since childhood, she'd never before been tempted to train one of the most vicious predators: the goshawk. But in her grief, she saw that the goshawk's fierce and feral anger mirrored her own.

Perfect Mix
Revisado: 04-03-16
There is an exquisite balance between history and the present, between own experience and that of others, between training and letting free, between grief and life. It also helped me to get MANY boring chores done. Ms Macdonald berates herself too much for not being perfect in her handling of Mabel. You don't have to be perfect to do a jolly good job.
