Mapping the World: A History of the Directorate of Overseas Surveys, 1946-1985

by Alastair Macdonald

Mapping the World is a social history of an organization which reflected a sense of duty and a determination on the part of British citizens and governments of the day to help other countries and people through-out the world. Such a work must inevitably be selective, but the material assembled by the author provides a unique insight into the exploits of the Directorates surveyors in some fifty-five countries around the world.
