‘Large, stunningly beautiful and filled with pictures of surpassing elegance and detail.’

— The Wall Street Journal.

‘It’s a museum masquerading as a book. Truly original.’

— People Magazine.

‘The text is authoritative and informative, but the real attraction is the artwork. There are glorious spreads of ecosystems, and even the end papers are worth a look. . . This will make a handsome addition to STEM collections and should attract browsers and budding mycologists alike.’

— Booklist (starred review).

‘[A] sumptuous illustrated children’s atlas that combines chic, muted colors with witty and informative drawings on heavy matte paper that whispers under the fingers. The sort of book you can’t help touching, ‘Maps’ is as likely to engross adults as it is 7- to 10-year-olds. [I]t gives aesthetic pleasure all the way from the table of contents to the flags of the world at book’s end.’

— The Wall Street Journal.
