Recenzii

“. . . Several fascinating and rare examples included in A History of America in 100 Maps. Any one may make readers rethink what they know about how the nation came to be.”

"Lavish and fascinating."

"Maps often capture history much more economically than any narrative. This is Schulten’s premise, which she supports by offering 100 cartographic snapshots of America from the European arrival to the digital age."

"Anyone who loves history, or maps, or American culture should read this book, from cover to cover.It is indeed a fabulous ride."

"Schulten does exactly what she promises at the beginning of her book: provide a visual tour through American history, supported by maps. History, in this case, is not written with a capital H, but is instead conceived as a collection of individual stories, with each map having its own to tell. Reading A History of America in 100 Maps is certainly a nice way to learn about the United States of America’s past and the fascinating parts map-making has played in that history."
