Using data gathered from US government agencies, anthropologist Felix Pharand-Deschenes has created a collection of maps that illustrate the various circulatory systems that connect humanity: cities, roads, railways, power lines, pipelines, cable Internet, airlines, and shipping lanes. The maps are remarkable cartographic documents of our current age, but also serve deeper research and educational purposes.
"A tightly organized global overview of the history of cartography - its resources, activities and opportunities (spread over more than 100 pages) with leads to the collecting of early maps, and thousands of links, e.g. to map image sites and web articles."
