The Map Book
Maps are not just diagrams of the route from A to B - from the earliest times they have helped us make sense of our world, from the very local to the global. Simply organised as a progression through time, each map is not only a beautiful work of art in its own right but also tells us about our changing perception of the earth. Sometimes, of course, maps tell lies and there are examples represented here that are meant to alter or influence our understanding of the world around us. There are maps of oceans and continents charted by heroic adventurers sailing into the unknown, at sea for years in tiny ships. For every example of a beautifully embellished map that has survived there must have b...
London
Over the past 2000 years, London has developed from a small town, fitting snugly within its walls, into one of the world's largest and most dynamic cities. London: A History in Maps illustrates and helps to explain the transformation using over 400 examples of maps. Side-by-side with the great, semi-official, but sanitized images of the whole city, there are the more utilitarian maps and plans of the parts--actual and envisaged--which perhaps present more than topographical records. They all have something unique to say about the time when they were created. Peter Barber's book reveals the "inside story" behind one of the world's greatest cities.

An Ionian Adventure
"A rip-roaring tale of dirty doings at sea." In Peter Barber's second book, we rediscover Tim, the hero of Concrete Jungle, now in his retirement taking a sailing trip in the Greek Islands with his erstwhile assistant, Kimberley. "The desperation of people trying to escape from their homes in North Africa for the supposed safety of Europe makes them easy prey for unscrupulous men who are only too keen to take their money, and then leave them to the mercy of the sea. When Tim and Kimberley pick up a body at sea, their idyllic sailing holiday soon becomes a terrifying nightmare. Set against a back drop of modern Greece and the beautiful islands and coves, so popular with summer sailors, Tim and Kimberley must fight for their lives." Peter Barber writes knowledgeably about his subject, calling on his passion for sailing and his love of the Greek islands. He conjures up the beauty of the Ionian Sea and islands in an adventure that keeps the reader engrossed and wanting more.
