Packs in so much of our astronomical knowledge, so many tidbits about the history of astronomy and space exploration that
I felt wonderfully enriched by it all. The book managed to surprise me in so many different ways. It is
visually striking and beautifully illustrated * Dr. Alfredo Carpineti, writer for @IFLScience *

Martin Vargic's maps of the world look like they belong on parchment, hung on walls of estates that no one can really afford . . . but there's more to the world than piles of dirt and great swathes of sea water . . .
his cartography creates an indirect commentary on how cultural proximities are every bit as relevant in the digital age as geographical ones. * www.bostonglobe.com *
