Book: Rethinking the Power of Maps, by Denis Wood, John Fels and John Krygier
Description
"Rethinking the Power of Maps, written by Wood along with John Fels and John Krygier, “takes a fresh look at what maps do, whose interests they serve, and how they can be used in surprising, creative, and radical ways,” says the publisher’s blurb. “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.” (http://www.mcwetboy.net/maproom/2010/05/rethinking_the.php)
