Description
Maps lie. And they should. Mark Monmonier argues that cartographers have a responsibility to reveal the biases and distortions in their work, rather than presenting an idealized version of reality.
In this entertaining and accessible guide, Monmonier explains how maps can be misleading and how we can learn to critically evaluate them. With humor and clarity, he shows us how to look beyond the surface level of a map and uncover its underlying assumptions and agendas.
This updated edition explores the impact of digital technology on cartography, highlighting both the opportunities and pitfalls of using software and online tools to create maps.
