Maphead : charting the wide, weird world of geography wonks / Ken Jennings. by Jennings, Ken, 1974- New York : Scribner, 2011. Subjects Maps.   Cartography. ISBN:  9781439167175 : 1439167176 Description:  276 p. : ill., maps ; 25 cm. Edition:  1st Scribner hardcover ed. Requests:  0 Summary:  It comes as no surprise that, as a kid, Jeopardy! legend Ken Jennings slept with a bulky Hammond world atlas by his pillow every night. Maphead recounts his lifelong love affair with geography and explores why maps have always been so fascinating to him and to fellow enthusiasts everywhere. Jennings takes readers on a world tour of geogeeks, from the London Map Fair to the computer programmers at Google Earth. Each chapter delves into a different aspect of map culture: highpointing, geocaching, road atlas rallying, even the "unreal estate" charted on the maps of fiction and fantasy. He also considers the ways in which cartography has shaped our history, suggesting that the impulse to make and read maps is as relevant today as it has ever been.--From publisher description.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 912 Je Checked In Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Nonfiction 912 Je Checked In Add Copy to MyList North Kohala Public Library Adult Nonfiction 912 Je Checked In Add Copy to MyList
