Here are just a few of the amazing reviews the book has received:
New York Times Book Blog:
“Its only April, and my vote for the most beautiful book of the year may be all sewn up. Cartographies of Time, published recently by Princeton Architectural Press, is an eye-popping record of the ways that mapmakers, chronologists, artists and other infographics geeks have tried to convey the passage of time visually.” — Jennifer Schuessler (April 16, 2010)
Cool Hunting:
“…the book’s fascinating swathe of cartographic imagery will appeal to history buffs and data visualization fans alike.” — Maggie York-Worth (April 6, 2010)
BibliOdyssey:
“This is the best book I’ve seen in years and if the nice people at Princeton Architectural Press had not sent me a review copy, I would happily have paid them double the very reasonable list price of $50 for the book. This is a keeper.” (Friday, April 30, 2010)
The Barnes & Noble Review:
“Entertaining…visually arresting.” — Peter Terzian (May 19, 2010)
Make Magazine:
“I’ve been absolutely enthralled by its contents ever since I pulled it from the padded envelope. Cartographies of Time, by Daniel Rosenberg and Anthony Grafton, literally impresses you with its point from the moment you take it in-hand. Subtitled “A History of the Timeline,” the book itself is corrugated with horizontally embossed lines on its covers. The effect is delightful (signaling right up front that this book is something special) and things just keep getting better as you travel deeper into the text. “Cartographies of Time is absolutely gorgeous….This is the type of artful and enlightening tome that makes me thrilled to be a book nerd. It’s the sort of title that I’ll have fun turning other book, history, design, and art enthusiasts onto.” — Gareth Branwyn (May 6, 2010)
