Humans have always travelled by roadways - whether on foot, by horse or in mechanical vehicles; we have always carved paths to differentiate rights of way from the adjoining countryside. Although the modes of transport have changed, the routes themselves have often endured in one form or another for centuries, even millennia. Drawing on the British Library's extensive map archive, A History of Roads in 100 Maps provides a unique survey of the mapping of roads all over the world, exploring the development of these most essential of societies’ arteries from Roman roads to pilgrim routes, from early automobile maps to today's smart roads and 'live' mapping. Informative and insightful, this lavish volume would make a fantastic gift for cartography fans.
