Overview

This text seeks to illustrate how maps tell us as much about the people and the powers which create them, as about the places they show. It presents historical and contemporary evidence of how the human urge to describe, understand and control the world is presented through the medium of mapping, together with the individual and environmental constraints of the creator of the map. Ideas from the fields of cultural geography, cartography and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are integrated into the text. Each chapter includes: an explanation of key terms, text boxes highlighting selected personalities; case studies; themes; and annotated further reading.
