Throughout history, maps have been fundamental in shaping our view of the world, and our place in it. But far from being purely scientific objects, maps of the world are unavoidably ideological and subjective, intimately bound up with the systems of power and authority of particular times and places. Mapmakers do not simply represent the world, they construct it out of the ideas of their age. In this scintillating book, Jerry Brotton examines the significance of 12 maps - from the almost mystical representations of ancient history to the satellite-derived imagery of today. He vividly recreates the environments and circumstances in which each of the maps was made, showing how each conveys a highly individual view of the world. Brotton shows how each of his maps both influenced and reflected contemporary events and how, by reading it, we can better understand the worlds that produced it.
Although the way we map our surroundings is changing, Brotton argues that maps today are no more definitive or objective than they have ever been, but that they continue to define, shape and recreate the world. Readers of this book will never look at a map in quite the same way again.

评分地图，这个名词在我的知识体系里一直以来都很稳定。我几乎从未考虑过这个词的概念、外延以及意义有什么问题。最多，让我给地图下一个诗意的定义，我会说，地图就是大地的印象。我们把丰富的信息抽象成符号，把符号标注在二维的平面上，从而获得行走的自由、判断的方向和过...
评分历史科目 – 不是每个人都会对历史有兴趣， 我就是一个其中最主要的原因很多时候历史书写的比较的沉闷及无趣。 地图地理科目 – 另外一个令人昏昏欲睡的学校科目。 两者过去不会有太多的结合， 唯一的共同点 – 不“讨喜” 我们认识地图是希望通过地图认识更多我们的世界，...

读得很累……
评分在巴黎莎士比亚书店买的，当时有个很帅很巴黎的男生拿了这本书，我好奇也拿下来翻了翻，觉得还不错，就带回了家。断断续续看了大半年终于看完了，挺有意思的，作者非常会讲故事，但真的很难啃。
