ITEM OVERVIEW
Maps are powerful shapers of truth about the world. The authors take a hard look at truth by carefully inspecting the familiar images we experience every day and challenging the popular world-view by questioning images, in general, as well as the specific messages communicated through maps. Two hundred oversize pages, with an abundance of diagrams, sidebars, tables, and (of course) maps, take us through the history of maps, their uses and abuses, and what it means for our perceptions of the world. A fascinating delve into the powers of projection. "An ingenious way of looking at the world." [Howard Zinn]
