CARTOGRAPHIA:MAPPING CIVILIZATIONS
Cartographia takes the reader on a tour of maps as cultural, social, and economic landscapes. This illustrated lecture draws on the Geography and Map Division of the Library of Congress--the world's largest map collection. Vincent Virga, author of Cartographia, examines maps from the earliest people's vision of the planet Earth to our current attempts at charting cyberspace.
