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 --- Dr Martin Dodge Department of Geography University of Manchester Oxford Rd Manchester, M13 9PL
