Review Quotes
Geographical Magazine
"Brotton's Trading Territories is a history not just of how the first truly global maps were made but how they were conceptualized, and how they shaped as well as described the earlymodern world. . . . Trading Territories covers a wide sweep of shifting territory with verve and authority."
History Today, on the first edition
“A beautifully illustrated account of the status, construction and purposes of maps in the early modern world.”
Independent, on the first edition
“Brotton’s elegant Trading Territories shows how historically maps were about facilitating trade and celebrating (and exerting) influence.”
Lisa Jardine, on the first edition
“In this outstanding study of maps and mapping, Brotton reveals a dynamism in the transaction between East and West beyond anything we have previously appreciated.”
