James Cheshire is Britain’s only Professor of Geographic Information and Cartography. A world-leading map maker, his cartographic creations have been enjoyed by millions. He is an elected fellow of the Academy of Social Sciences and has been recognised with many prestigious awards from the likes of the Royal Geographical Society and the British Cartographic Society. His co-authored book Atlas of the Invisible won the American Association of Geographer’s Globe Award. When he is not making, writing about, or teaching with maps, James spends his time scouring eBay for them in the hope that one day he’ll have a map library of his own.

Cheshire transformed from a skeptic into someone fully enthralled by and immersed in how maps convey messages, stories, and interpretations of events and places, allowing the map percipient to critically evaluate and find meaning. This book is critical, as are visits to libraries of lost maps.
