Hi Angie,
Can this be posted to the list please?
Thanks

***********************************
I have the following book to be reviewed for the "Journal of Spatial Science".
Please contact me off-list if you would like to review it.
"Cartographies of travel and navigation"
James Akerman (ed)
University of Chicago Press, Nov 2006
hardback, 344pp, 11 colour plates, 81 halftones, 4 line drawings
US$55/GBP35
ISBN 0-226-01074-0
from the back cover:
"a tour de force in geographic, cartographic and transportation history, this
compendium ranges from sea charts to in-car navigation systems"
"the first attempt to present a history of travel mapping"
"the fundamental hypothesis that, sea charts aside, one of today's most common use of
maps - for wayfinding - is a very recent phenomenon"
