Content

Simon Garfields belangstelling voor kaarten wordt gewekt wanneer hij als kind dagelijks de metrokaart in de Londense subway bestudeert. Zijn fascinatie is sindsdien alleen maar toegenomen. In Op de kaart onderzoekt hij hoe kaarten, vanaf de eerste schetsen van de oude Grieken tot aan Google Maps, onze geschiedenis hebben gemaakt en beïnvloed. Garfield verhaalt over de onmogelijke opdracht om Afrika in kaart te brengen, over het maken van de perfecte globe, over Ptolemeus en Johannes Blaeu, over de ontdekkers van de Zuidpool en de ‘Star Maps’ in Hollywood. En waarom heet Amerika eigenlijk niet Columbus?

Op de kaart is een onweerstaanbare zoektocht, rijk geïllustreerd en vol vermakelijke anekdotes, naar waar we waren, waar we zijn en waar we naartoe gaan.

‘Een verrukkelijk boek over letterliefde,’ schreef De Morgen over het veelgeprezen Precies mijn type, waarin Simon Garfield de geschiedenis van de typografie belicht. Op dezelfde enthousiasmerende, onnavolgbare wijze schrijft hij in Op de kaart over landkaarten en atlassen.

Book condition
An important factor of a second-hand book is the condition of the book. The buyer may not be surprised. Always mention damages or defects. We use a system with 3 stars:
The book is acceptable: you have used it to study and made notes and markings – but everything is still readable. The cover and pages are in good condition.
The book still looks good: there are a few notes in it and you marked it. There are hardly any signs of use on the cover and pages.
The book is (almost) new: you have not written or marked in it. There are no signs of use on the cover and pages.
