Ende Januar fesselte mich eine Lektüre der etwas anderen Art:
Auf dieses Buch bin ich danke meinem Prof. aufmerksam geworden. He gave me the hint for it and because I liked it so well, I've even bought my own. We saw so many beautiful pictures, I just could not say no. :)

The book is divided into ten sections, and tells of maps as guidance, production techniques, its use in politics, but also of color techniques. Here, read this book is not dry but reported in an interesting way is something else about this "science".
This book definitely not just for people interested in history and Gepgraphie. On the contrary, I can well imagine that even young explorers would enjoy this book. Especially by the colorful pictures it looks very appealing and certainly can be read easily by an adult.
