Krátky popis
'My name is Mike and I am a map addict. There, it's said...' Mike
Parker, presenter of Radio 4's On the Map, celebrates the richness
of all things maps in this fantastic, critically-acclaimed read.
Have you ever got through an entire day without referring to some
kind of navigational aide, be it checking the A-Z, touring the
globe on Google Earth, planning a walk or navigating a shopping
centre? Maps are everywhere and they are, according to self
proclaimed map-addict Mike Parker, the unsung heroes of life.Here
he sings their song, celebrating everything cartographic. With a
mix of wry observation and hard fact, the offbeat and the
completely pedantic, Parker wages a one-man war against the moronic
blandishments of the Sat Nav age. He combines cartographic history
and trivia with memoir and oblique observation to create a highly
readable expose of the world of maps.Only here can you find out
which area has officially been named by the OS as the most boring
square kilometre in the land and whether Milton Keynes was really
built to pagan alignment. Confessing that his own impressive map
collection was founded on a virulent teenage shoplifting habit
Parker ponders how a good leftie can be so gung-ho about British
cartographic imperialism and establishes himself as defender and
saviour of British cartography in the internet age.
