Hello

I would like to let members of the list know about a new cartographic book 
that charts the growth and development of Manchester that was published 
just last week.

Manchester: Mapping the City features more than 100 old maps, original plans 
and birds-eye views, to chart the history of the city as it grew rich on its 
cotton trade from the late 18th century, experienced periods of boom and bust 
through the Victorian period, and began its post-industrial rejuvenation in the 
late 20th century.

More details on the book are available at http://www.mappingmanchester.org

The book is published by Birlinn and is part of their successful series of 
Mapping the City books, https://www.birlinn.co.uk/Cartography-books/

many thanks for your time

Martin Dodge
