I was super curious about this book. The combination of maths and maps immediately captured my attention, having been interested in both for a long time. And I absolutely loved the book. It expectedly goes into detail of the mathematics to make projections of 3D territory on a 2D plane works and what the trade-offs are there. But then goes so much wider into (often no well known) pioneers of map making and how drawing maps can help people but also have impact on politics in other areas as we essentially draw arbitrary lines around territories to categorize them. If you like maps and maths I can highly recommend the book.
