'From medieval manuscripts to websites, Cartographies of Time features a wide variety of timelines that in their own unique way—curving, crossing, branching—defy conventional thinking about the form... This lavishly illustrated edition is a revelation to anyone interested in the role visual forms have played in our evolving conception of history.' (Back cover)
Featuring artists from various backgrounds, this book captures the evolution of chronology over the period of more than a thousand years. Over 280 images (maps, charts, photographs, and other illustrations) accompany the text. A selected bibliography is included for further reading.
