This volume focuses on the rise and evolution of cartographic concepts and cartographic practices in the two major civilizations of Islam and South Asia, covering a wide range of types and themes. It is the most comprehensive review of the history of cartography to date. The book is full of information and contains a lot of information. It not only helps readers understand the characteristics, traditions and development of these two civilizations' cartographic activities from their own perspectives, but also lays a solid foundation for in-depth discussions in related academic fields. It also opens up new topics for future cross-cultural comparative research on the history of cartography from a global perspective.
