A contemporary follow-up to the groundbreaking "Power of Maps," this book takes a fresh look at what maps do, whose interests they serve, and how they can be used in surprising, creative, and radical ways. Denis Wood describes how cartography facilitated the rise of the modern state and how maps continue to embody and project the interests of their creators. He demystifies the hidden assumptions of mapmaking and explores the promises and limitations of diverse counter-mapping practices today. Thought-provoking illustrations include U.S. Geological Survey maps; electoral and transportation maps; and numerous examples of critical cartography, participatory GIS, and map art.

Seller's Description:
Very Good. Book NOT a former library book. A sturdy, unmarked copy with slight shelf wear. "Rethinking the Power of Maps" by Denis Wood challenges traditional notions of maps as objective representations of reality. Wood argues that maps are not neutral tools but rather powerful social constructs that shape our understanding of space and place. He emphasizes that maps are inherently subjective, influenced by the perspectives and intentions of their creators. Through insightful examples and analyses, Wood encourages readers to question the authority and influence of maps, urging a more critical and nuanced approach to cartography. The book ultimately calls for a reevaluation of how we perceive and use maps in various contexts, from urban planning to cultural representation.
