About This Item
Canada: Penguin Books, 2002. In 'Where Is Here?' , Alan Morantz tells the story of the maps that made Canada. He examines how the inhabitants of this land have used maps for their own purposes, and he shows us how maps - made by Inuit hunters, hobos, explorers, missionaries, adventurers, and artists - are often windows on our world views, our assumptions and our dreams. They tell the story of Canada. 256 pp including appendix and index. Illustrated with b/w photos and maps. Appendix: Timeline - Significant Dates in Canadian Surveying, Mapping and Charting. Illustrated endpapers. An immaculate book in a price-intact dust jacket.. First Edition, First Printing. Hard Cover. As New/As New.
