Description From the earliest known maps,
carved into cave walls in Europe, to modern dashboard maps linked to satellites,
MODERN MARVELSTM tells the story of the ways we have chosen to chart
our course and represent our world--and other worlds. It is a tale dotted with
names that evoke adventure, from Marco Polo to Lewis and Clark. Explore the
legacy of men like Ptolemy and Mercator, and see how Andrew McNally and William
Rand turned a small Chicago print shop into the world's largest map maker. Go
high above the earth for a look at satellite mapping techniques, and deep below
the ocean's surface where the mysteries of the sea floor are finally being
revealed by new technologies.
