Synopsis
The debut book from the YouTube sensation and all-round cartographical nerds, The Map Men!
Hello, we're the Map Men and in the following pages, we've selected what we believe to be some of the very best wrong maps. Some of them are decades old, some are centuries old, and some are so recent they're still being published today (or yesterday, if you're reading this tomorrow).
In This Way Up, we delve into laugh-out-loud funny, hilarious geographical gaffes, including:
- world maps that forego entire countries
- colonial maps with mathematically impossible borders and made-up mountain ranges
- maps of US states with fake cities
- painfully incorrect maps on live news channels
- ...and more!
Whether you're an avid map junkie or simply "map-curious," each chapter uncovers a unique tale of adventure, error and unexpected humor - as we attempt to answer the question: "What on earth happened here?"
So, ditch the compass (or open settings and tap 'disable location services') and set out on a journey with us, the Map Men, into a world of cartographic chaos and mappy mishaps.
Because the worst maps are the best maps.
