The term mantle has inspired philosophers, geographers, and theologians, and shaped artistsesquo; and mapmakersssquo; visual vocabularies for thousands of years. According to Veronica della Dora, mantle is the edquo;metaphor par excellence, for it unfolds between the seen and the unseen as a threshold and as a point of tension.ndquo; Featuring numerous illustrations, The Mantle of the Earth: Genealogies of a Geographical Metaphor is an intellectual history of the term mantle and its metaphorical representation in art and literature, geography and cartography. Through the history of this metaphor from antiquity to the modern day, we learn about shifting perceptions and representations of global space and of the nature of geography itself.
