具體描述
Throughout history, maps have been fundamental in shaping our view of the world, and our place in it. But far from being purely scientific objects, maps of the world are unavoidably ideological and subjective, intimately bound up with the systems of power and authority of particular times and places. Mapmakers do not simply represent the world, they construct it out of the ideas of their age. In this scintillating book, Jerry Brotton examines the significance of 12 maps - from the almost mystical representations of ancient history to the satellite-derived imagery of today. He vividly recreates the environments and circumstances in which each of the maps was made, showing how each conveys a highly individual view of the world. Brotton shows how each of his maps both influenced and reflected contemporary events and how, by reading it, we can better understand the worlds that produced it.
Although the way we map our surroundings is changing, Brotton argues that maps today are no more definitive or objective than they have ever been, but that they continue to define, shape and recreate the world. Readers of this book will never look at a map in quite the same way again.

評分加拿大汉学家卜正民有一本著作，叫做《塞尔登的中国地图》。这幅地图得名于1654年将它捐赠给牛津大学博德利图书馆的英国律师约翰•塞尔登。塞尔登地图被认为是“700年来最重要的一幅中国地图”，不仅因它精确地描绘了当时中国的地理环境，卜正民尤其强调要注意塞尔登地图把中...
評分地图第一次给我震撼的感觉不是源自课本，而是在《康熙王朝》里，斯琴高娃饰演的孝庄皇太后——这个饱经沧桑的老妇人嗫嚅趴在 《康熙皇舆全览图》上拿着放大镜寻索着自己出生的科尔沁大草原。这个人物给我地图的概念不是课本上冰冷的图画，浮在表面的文字不带感情的诉说着地图的...
