For instance, the people gf China and of Japan were considerably more advanced in this respect. And yet, by 1600 the Europeans had come to use maps for a huge variety of tasks, and were far ahead of the rest of the world in their appreciation of the power and use of cartography. The Mapmakers' Quest seeks to understand this development - not only to tease out the strands of thought and practice which led to the use of maps, but also to assess the ways in which such use affected European societies and economies. 606 $aCartography$zEurope$xHistory 606 $aCartography$xHistory 615 0$aCartography$xHistory. 615 0$aCartography$xHistory. 676 $a526/.094 700 $aBuisseret$b David$0600632 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910790150403321 996 $aThe mapmaker's quest$93809207 997 $aUNINA
