Abstract

Nicholas Crane has constructed a compelling narrative of the story of Gerard Mercator, the early cartographer who we remember for the Mercator Projection. Crane has written an easy-to-read but well-researched volume on a most unusual individual who lived in a dynamic period of European history and geography.
