The book "World on a Map" is one of the most extensive popular science works on the history of world maps that has ever been published. It should be noted that the published work is not only an academically authoritative publication, but also a popular and fascinating work that animates history. The book answers the questions: What do the cards tell us about ourselves? What do they say about our history, culture, position and values? How have European maps changed and improved over the millennium? For what purposes were they made? Who made them? Who were they intended for? This is the rarest work for those who are fond of cartography, historical research, as well as for the general public.
