Discover the human side of the city in this fascinating and richly illustrated collection of personified maps.
This gorgeously illustrated atlas personifies 28 cities around the world. Artist and creative cartographer Adam Dant dissects Manhattan in an anatomical diagram, traces the form of a Picasso nude in the streets of Monaco, and transforms the crisscrossing paths of boats on the Bosporus into the nerves of Istanbul. Dant draws on the history, culture, and geography of each city and on the aesthetic of antique maps to create works of cartographic art
"Living Maps is presented as a collection of beautifully illuminated, hand-drawn charts from the library of an imagined character, the slippery Dr London."
