Description
Maps are often seen as objective representations of the world, but the choices made by mapmakers can significantly alter the story they tell. Mark Monmonier's book, How to Lie with Maps, reveals the principles behind these choices and how they can be used to deceive or mislead. The third edition of this book has been updated to reflect the impact of digital technology on mapmaking, including new opportunities for cartographic mischief, deception, and propaganda. The book retains its brevity, range, and humor, while incorporating new chapters on image maps, prohibitive cartography, and online maps. This edition includes an expanded section of color images and an updated list of sources for further reading, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in the art and science of mapmaking.
