摘要：
Presents an examination of the use of maps for wayfinding. This book considers maps whose makers employed the smallest of scales to envision the broadest of human stages. It looks at maps that are at the opposite end of the scale from cosmological and world maps. It shows ways in which certain maps can be linked to particular events in history.
