Jerome F Keating's fourth and newest book on Taiwan

The Mapping of Taiwan takes place within the shaping framework of world events and global economies. It is a Gestalt of Taiwan's history and of life. Trade, commodities, greed and monopolies are all part and parcel of desired economies. They in turn lead to coveted geographies that must be mapped. If you get into the numerous themes and underlying messages in this work, it will change your paradigmatic perspective of Taiwan and life. If not, you will still enjoy the beauty and fascination of the many maps from the 1500s to the present.
