Beschreibung

MAP OF A NATION tells the story of the creation of the Ordnance Survey map - the first complete, accurate, affordable map of the British Isles. The Ordnance Survey is a much beloved British institution, and MAP OF A NATION is, amazingly, the first popular history to tell the story of the map and the men who dreamt and delivered it. This is a deliciously readable account of one of the great untold British adventure stories, featuring intrepid individuals lugging brass theodolites up mountains to make the country visible to itself for the first time.
