Book Synopsis
Cartographers know that maps are more than just representations of the world; rather, every map reflects the agendas and intentions of its creators. Employing several nature maps, this book explores the different aspects of maps' self-presentation: from place names to titles and legends.

Trade Review
"This book presents an absolutely unique understanding of cartography and mapping, what they are and what they do. The ideas are groundbreaking, but the presentation is clear and readable - and the book is drop-dead gorgeous, an art book masquerading as a book on cartography." - Tom Koch, author of Cartographies of Disease: Maps, Mapping, and Medicine"
