I am finally getting ready to publish this new historical novel I’ve been working on titled, Whiskey Creek, and I wanted to share more about where I got the ideas for this book.
Great historical narrative here. The shift from 2D portolan charts to 3D contour mapping duirng WWII really captures how warfare drove cartographic innovation. The grid conversion problem is underappreciated, different projection systems made captured maps useless for targeting which forced that massive AMS standardization effort. The Michelin Guide detail is wild, basically tourism infrastructure becomming military intellignece by default.
Finally!
Another Christine Kling masterpiece!
