Reviews

[Lomme]

Pickles ate with this one! I don’t 100% agree with the way he has laid out everything, some of his arguments are a bit flawed, but in general I’m a fan of this work! It’s comprehensive and interesting

Berbat bir çeviri, Türkçe versiyonunu okuduğum için pişmanlık...

Although cartography is not one of my favourite subjects, Pickles presents an interesting argument about how to view mapping in the context of history.
