NPR : 'Cartographia' Showcases Maps as History, Art
NPR's Talk of the Nation interviewed the creator of yet another book on Maps and Cartography, called "Cartographia." The author, in the interview, has wonderful insights on what maps are and what they mean as cultural artifacts.
And the maps from the book, as seen in a gallery on NPR's website, are just too cool. This one is going onto the wishlist forthwith.
