Book Synopsis
Some maps help us find our way; others restrict where we go and what we do. Restrictive mapping has been indispensable in settling the American West, protecting fragile ocean fisheries, and keeping sex offenders away from playgrounds. This book is suitable for those who vote, own a home, or aspire to be an informed citizen.

Trade Review
"An entertaining and enlightening excursion." -Boston Globe "Mark Monmonier is an able populariser of academic geography, and an expert guide to the bureaucratic, legal and political hierarchies that determine how places acquire, change and lose their names." -Economist "Mark Monmonier's boyishly infectious history of (principally American) toponyms maps out the sexism, racism and imperialism through which we have come to know our landscapes." -Times Literary Supplement"
