Mesmerized by them since the age of eight or nine, he found himself courted and seduced by maps, which served functional and allegorical roles in showing him worlds that he might come to know and helping him understand worlds that he had already explored. Maps may have been the stuff of his dreams, but they sometimes drew him away from places where he should have remained firmly rooted.Sightline books.CartographyMethodologyCartographyPhilosophyMap readingMapsSymbolsCartographyMethodology.CartographyPhilosophy.Map reading.MapsSymbols.526Norment Christopher1677447MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910816981903321In the memory of the map4044328UNINA
