{"product_id":"on-the-map","title":"On The Map","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMaps 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith a historical sweep ranging from Ptolemy to Twitter, Garfield explores the legendary, impassable (and non-existent) mountains of Kong, the role of cartography in combatting cholera, the 17th-century Dutch craze for Atlases, the Norse discovery of America, how a Venetian monk mapped the world from his cell and the Muppets' knack of instant map-travel. Along the way are pocket maps of dragons, Mars, murders and more, with plenty of illustrations and prints to signpost the route. From the bestselling and widely-adored author of Just My Type, On The Map is a witty and irrepressible examination of where we've been, how we got there and where we're going. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"productContentWrap\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"productContent\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"titleContributor\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"productData\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"format\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"col1\"\u003eAuthor: Simon Garfield\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"format\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"col1\"\u003eFormat:\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"col2\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"format_title\"\u003ePaperback \/ softback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"pagination\"\u003e464 pages, 60 ills\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"imprint\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eProfile Books Ltd\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"imprint\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eImprint: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eProfile Books Ltd\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"edition\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eEdition: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"edition\"\u003eMain\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"isbn\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eISBN: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e9781846685101\u003cbutton class=\"btnCopyISBN\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"k-icon k-font-icon k-i-copy\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/button\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"published\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003ePublished: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e5 Sep 2013\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"classifications\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eClassifications:\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHistorical geography,\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTravel writing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"format\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eWeight: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e358g\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"dimensions\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eDimensions: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e197 x 138 x 34 \u003cspan class=\"unitOfMeasure\"\u003e(mm)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"pubCountry\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003ePub.
