QuotePlaces & Spaces: Mapping Science is meant to inspire cross-disciplinary discussion on how to best track and communicate human activity and scientific progress on a global scale. It has two components: the physical part supports the close inspection of high quality reproductions of maps for display at conferences and education centers; the online counterpart provides links to a selected series of maps and their makers along with detailed explanations of how these maps work. The exhibit is a 10-year effort. Each year, 10 new maps are added resulting in 100 maps total in 2014.
Fascinating!
I tried following this up until about the 1940's and then I think I blacked out. Never before have I wanted an illustration to be reduced to a point on line flow chart, I think this needs it.
