A SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER A Waterstones Best Nature & Travel Writing Book 2025 'Educational, smart and funny Richard Osman This book is superb Charlie Brooker Brilliant. Fascinating. Hilarious. Jonn Elledge, bestselling author of A History of the World in 47 Borders 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 being published today (or yesterday, if youre reading this tomorrow). They include world maps, colonial maps, corporate maps, Soviet maps, pioneer maps, news maps and maps whose intended use was hijacked for a French surrealist political movement in the 1950s. Whether youre an avid map junkie or simply map-curious, you will uncover a unique tale of adventure, error and unexpected humour in each chapter, as we attempt to answer the question: What on earth happened here? So, ditch the compass (or 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. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Very good. Laid on original linen. Jesuit library label and stamp. Size 23.5 x 18 Inches. This is a c. 1889 French Jesuit map of Nantong (??), Hai-men (??), and the island of Chongming (???), on the opposite side of the Yangtze River from Shanghai, China. It is one of the maps produced at the Xujiahui Library (Zi-ka-wei) by the Jesuit priest Henri Havret for his 1892 study of the historical formation and settlement of the alluvial Chongming (Tsong Ming) Island. The map also serves as a unique record of Missionary activity near Shanghai, recording the sites of hundreds of new churches and missions. A Closer Look Coverage embraces the southeastern parts of Jiangsu (??) Province, including the districts of Nantong (??), Hai-men (??), and the island of Chongming (???). The map illustrates numerous villages, churches, and missions throughout. The title celebrates the regional success of the Kiang-nan missionaries between 1887 and 1889 - expanding from 68 to 9,150 Christians. One could argue, with its close proximity to Shanghai, that Nantong was fertile ground for Catholic conversion, but a subsequent decrease in Christianity throughout the region suggests wide but shallow religious penetration. A key in the lower left includes a brief dictionary of transliterated Chinese geographical terms. This map was produced for Henri Havret's 1892 study of the formation and settlement of the alluvial Chongming (Tsong Ming) Island. This was the first work to examine Chongming's growth over hundreds of years by incorporating data from both Chinese and Western sources. Accordingly, dotted lines represent the alluvial shorelines some 25 years ago, as recorded by the Chinese diplomat and cartographer 'Li-fong Pao' (Li Fengbao; ???; 1834 - 1887).It superseded and contradicted the results of earlier studies on Chongming done by French geographer Jacques Élisée Reclus (1830 - 1905). While produced in conjunction with Havret's study, this map was not included in his published report L'île de Tsong-Ming à l'embouchure du Yang-Tse-Kiang , and was issued separately. Chongming Island Chongming Island (Tsong Ming; ???), located just north of Shanghai, China, is a remarkable example of geographical and historical evolution. Formed from the alluvial deposits of the Yangtze River, the island's growth over centuries has been a slow and natural process, heavily influenced by the sedimentary contributions of the river. Initially a collection of separate shoals, these alluvial islands gradually merged, forming a habitable landmass by the Ming Dynasty. Human settlement, while dating to ancient times, became more significant under the Ming and Qing, when large-scale dyke construction stabilized the island. Its strategic location at the mouth of the Yangtze made it significant for trade and military purposes. Nantong (??) Nantong is located in the Jiangsu Province of China, just north of Shanghai. The district was strategically situated near the mouth of the Yangtze River, in close proximity to the international concessions in nearby Shanghai. In the 19th century, Nantong's proximity to Shanghai provided trade and technological advantages over other parts of China, leading to early agricultural and industrial development - particularly in the textile industry. Under the influence of the 'official-entrepreneur' Zhang Jian (1853 - 1926), Nantong developed a modern textile industry with progressive policies. Zhang founded the first modern cotton mill in China here, laying the groundwork for Nantong's reputation as a textile cente. Provenance The map bears two library stamps, confirming it was deaccessioned by a German Jesuit library sometime in the 1980s. The library stamp remains in the lower left, and its mark appears in the lower right. It is difficult to decipher but reads 'Prov. Germ. S. J.', resolvable to 'Provinciae Germaniae Bibliotheca Scriptorum Societatis Jesu', perhaps located in Cologne. We have seen numerous other maps with the same stamps, all very r.
