This book did exactly what it said did - changed my perspective on the world with maps. I found this book fascinating and great read. Perfect for anyone who is interesting in history, geography, or maps in general.

I've seen a lot of "maps that will change how you see the world" articles, and I always think they're so interesting, and this book was no exception. I love the collection of different maps showing different topics that really do make you think about the world in different ways. I would have loved to see more historical maps, since that's not something that usually shows up in these types of lists.

This book is so interesting! I’ve never seen anything like this before. It’s not just geographical maps either. I especially loved the New York City one about women’s safety. Would highly recommend.

The title is accurate and appropriate; indeed, reading this book changes your perspective.
I am fan of the site (are we allowed to say such things) of Catalhoyuk and it was nice to find out more about it.
This non-fiction book is like the Unsolved Mysteries maps version. Intriguing, informative and engaging.

4 stars - an interesting selection of maps, each of which is explained in enough detail to make you think about what they represent. Some of the images included surprised me, perhaps stretching the definition of maps, but they were interesting despite this. Highlights for me were the Walkability for Women map and the maps of aromas and noise, as I hadn't seen these represented in this manner before, and I appreciated the descriptions for each of them. Each of them was clearly well-researched and many of them inspired curiosity.
