"The Image of the World: 20 Centuries of World Maps" by Peter Whitfield explores the history of cartography and the evolution of human understanding of the world through maps. Key themes that can help draw connections to other books in a library include:

- **History of Cartography and Mapmaking:** Tracing the development of world maps from ancient times to the present. This theme connects to books on the history of geography, exploration, and scientific illustration 【1】【2】.
- **Evolution of Worldviews:** How maps reflect changing ideas and knowledge about the Earth. This theme can be linked to books on intellectual history, the history of science, and cultural studies 【3】【4】.
- **Cultural and Historical Significance of Maps:** Maps as both artistic and historically revealing documents, placed within the broader context of intellectual history. This theme connects to books on art history, cultural geography, and historical studies 【5】.
- **Maps as Tools of Power and Propaganda:** The use of maps for public display and to convey specific messages. This theme can be connected to books on political science, propaganda, and the history of visual communication 【6】.
