Blood, dreams and gold
Myanmar (Burma) is an unknown country. Virtually isolated from most of the world for two generations, and governed by one of the world's most oppressive regimes, it only began to open up in 2011 and just recently installed an elected government of sorts. Richard Cockett gives us a remarkable tour of this hidden society. Part political history and part travelogue, this is an outstanding introduction to the country for those unfamiliar with Burmese…

Since that date, the program and the maps themselves have undergone many changes due mainly to technological advances in mapping methods. Though older maps are a fascinating source, the use of data collected from historic USGS topographic maps in modern applications necessitates a general kn…
