WilliamDam.dk's beskrivelse
Introducing the debut book by The Map Men, YouTube sensations and passionate cartographical enthusiasts!
In this book, we've gathered what we believe to be some of the most fascinatingly incorrect maps. These maps span a wide range of time periods, from those created decades ago to some that are centuries old, and even a few that might have been published as recently as today (or yesterday, if you're reading this tomorrow).
Our selection includes world maps, colonial maps, corporate maps, Soviet maps, pioneer maps, news maps, and even maps that were co-opted by a French surrealist political movement in the 1950s. Whether you are a map enthusiast or just curious about maps, each chapter offers a unique story filled with adventure, errors, and surprising humor as we delve into the question: 'What on earth happened here?'
So, leave your compass behind (or switch off your location services) and embark on a journey with us, the Map Men, into a world of cartographic chaos and delightful mishaps. Because sometimes, the worst maps tell the best stories.
