A New York Times Bestseller

"Maps allow the armchair traveler to roam the world, the diplomat to argue his points, the ruler to administer his country, the warrior to plan his campaigns and the propagandist to boost his cause... rich and beautiful." - Wall Street Journal

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 considering it in all its nuances and omissions, we can better understand the world that produced it.

Although the way we map our surroundings is more precise than ever before, Brotton argues that maps today are no more definitive or objective than they have ever been. Readers of this beautifully illustrated and masterfully argued book will never look at a map in quite the same way again.

"A fascinating and panoramic new history of the cartographer's art."
- The Guardian

"The intellectual background to these images is conveyed with beguiling erudition.... There is nothing more subversive than a map."
- The Spectator

"A mesmerizing and beautifully illustrated book."
--The Telegraph

It's Pittsburgh Steelers!!
Style: Goal Post Chew Toy, Color: PITTSBURGH STEELERS
I ordered it for our "Grandpups"! My daughter says it's tuff & strong but at the same time it gives enough for the dogs to bite down on it. They love it!! I ordered it along with a few Steeler bandanas!

Not for the serious chewers
Style: Goal Post Chew Toy, Color: NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS
Great novelty dog toy but if your dog is a real chewer like my Frenchie is, he had this turned this into a weapon in a matter of a week. The chewed up plastic was super sharp! But other than that, Go Pats!

My puppy loves this chew toy.
Style: Goal Post Chew Toy, Color: Detroit Lions
It’s one of his favorite toys to show off and chew. I constantly find him carrying it around. The only downside is that the Lions emblem wore off really quickly. It’s still a super cool toy though.

Heavy nylon. No squishy or chewable for pups.
Style: Goal Post Chew Toy, Color: PHILADELPHIA EAGLES, Style: Goal Post Chew Toy, Color: PHILADELPHIA EAGLES
Photo is just for size comparison. It’s really hard and not chewable but he’s already put a dent into it, as you can see. Not sticky, smells right out of the packaging !! We loved that! Its size is about a 20 oz Powerdrink but it’s sturdy and heavy. It’s going to last us such a long time . The only thing is the logo might be worn off sometime soon. Go birds! 🦅
