Summary

Thomas Reinertsen Berg: A History of Geographical Maps

"Maps are pictures of the world. All the maps in this book represent different views of the world, from the hypotheses put forward by the ancient Greeks, through what was believed in the Middle Ages, to the attempts at scientific and objective cartography in the Renaissance and the massive accumulation of data in the digital age. All these maps have one thing in common: the way they choose to represent the world speaks volumes about what is considered important and what is feasible in the present historical moment." The world is a stage on which events are constantly changing. Abraham Ortelius wrote of the maps of his time that they allow people to see "what is happening and where, as if it were happening in the present moment," which brings a smile to the face in an age when digital maps inform users of road conditions in real time." Thomas Reinertsen Berg Although only recently had the opportunity to see the world from a bird's eye view, since time immemorial it has been inherent in man to imagine it - and depict it - from that point. Writing about the most important geographical maps throughout history, from the dawn of civilization to satellite maps and Google Maps, the Norwegian historian Reinertsen Berg tells the story of cartographers, geographers, researchers and technological innovators who created in response to the needs of their time, be they religious or scientific, military or economic, and always from the aspiration to provide humanity with a more accurate, detailed or broader picture of the world in which they live.
