The Power of Maps

Bok av Denis Wood
If every map has a perspective, a point of view, whose interest do they serve? "The Power of Maps" re-examines the maps we have known all our lives to reconsider what and how they tell us about the places we know and the places we learn about. The pretence of objective, "scientific" map-making is demolished as the author explores how maps can change the way we see our world.
