A stunning, thought-provoking exploration of how maps shape our understanding of the worldfeaturing over 150 full-color maps in a gorgeous package

Maps in the data age are ubiquitous. In an instant, places, social networks, even the human genome can be drawn up in exacting detail.

Cartographer and historian William Rankin argues that it's time to reimagine what a map can be and how it can be used. It's important to recognize that rather than being objective visualizations of facts, maps are innately political, defining what is worth noticing, drawing borders, and crafting conclusions about the ground they cover. And the consequences are enormous. The visual argument of a map can change how cities are designed and how rivers flow, how wars are fought and how land claims are settled, how children learn about race and how colonialism becomes a habit of mind. Maps don't just show us datathey help construct our world.

Brimming with vibrant maps, including many "radical" maps created by Rankin himself and by other mapmakers,
