Sit at the medieval court of Roger of Sicily, as he and Al-Idrisi<br />
create a map of solid silver to set out the known world; meet<br />
Phyllis Pearsall, who after getting lost in its twisting streets,<br />
concluded that London needed a good map. From Margaret<br />
Geller, who mapped the galaxies, to the unknown heroes who<br />
sewed signposts made of quilts to guide slaves along the<br />
Underground Railroad, these are just some of the people who<br />
helped to chart our way in the world and on to the stars. In The<br />
Road to There, Val Ross guides readers through the meticulous<br />
world of mapmaking. With reproductions of some of the most<br />
important maps in history, The Road to There is a mirror of world<br />
history, jam-packed with information and full of suspense.<br />
