Cartography

A 21st-Century Vision for Better Infrastructure

Robert W. Poole Jr.

“Poole offers a well-reasoned transition from the failing twentiethcentury highway model to one that can sustain and support our country for the 21st century.”—Mary Peters, former US Secretary of Transportation

“Poole’s bold, innovative thinking on infrastructure could not come at a better time. He provides a comprehensive analysis of the endemic, seemingly intractable problems facing our nation’s infrastructure, and offers a practical set of solutions.”—Rick Geddes, Cornell University

Picturing America

The Golden Age of Pictorial Maps

Stephen J. Hornsby

“An underappreciated form of American visual art: the pictorial map. They’re maps designed to draw you in and—as often as not—try to sell you something, whether it’s a tropical vacation, a brand of bourbon, or a version of the American dream. [Picturing America] highlights an occasionally twisted, often amusing, always colorful tradition of hand-drawn cartography.”—National Geographic

Globes

400 Years of Exploration, Navigation, and Power

Sylvia Sumira

“All you ever wanted to know about the history of globes and how they have been made.”—Sarah Tyacke, University of London

“Lavishly illustrated. . . . Sumira traces the history and making of globes and showcases dozens of fine examples drawn largely from the collection of the British Library.”—Wired

Maps and Civilization

Cartography in Culture and Society, Third Edition

Norman J. W. Thrower

“The premier one-volume history of cartography. . . . Maps and Civilization should be a close companion for anyone interested in maps: where they came from, where they are now, and where to go for more detail.”—John P. Snyder, Mercator’s World

“An easily digestible rather than encyclopedic volume, backed by an authority of thorough scholarship.”—Cartography From the Age of Discovery to Our Digital Era

Edited by Kären Wigen and Caroline Winterer

“Time in Maps is a fascinating look at some of the many ways in which humans have tried to depict the passage of time in cartographic form. The handsome hardback is illustrated throughout with color images of historical maps. . . . For those fascinated by the history and modern implications of map-making, it’s rewarding reading.” —Fortean Times

“Time in Maps shows definitively that maps brim with temporal references, both overt and subtle.” —Anne Kelly Knowles, University of Maine

Cartophilia

Maps and the Search for Identity in the French-German Borderland

Catherine Tatiana Dunlop

“With lively and polished prose, Dunlop traces the many ways that visual imagery both reflected and shaped the shifting boundary between France and Germany. Her ability to explicate all types of cartographic knowledge—from state-sponsored surveys to popular ‘citizen maps’—makes this a most welcome addition to the history of cartography.”—Susan Schulten, author of A History of America in 100 Maps

The Mysteries of the Marco Polo Maps

Benjamin B. Olshin

“For a guy who claimed to spend seventeen years in China as a confidant of Kublai Khan, Marco Polo left a surprisingly skimpy paper trail. . . . But a set of fourteen parchments, now collected and exhaustively studied for the first time, give us a raft of new stories about Polo’s journeys and something notably missing from his own account: maps.” —Smithsonian Magazine

2014 176 p. 6 x 9 13 color plates, 23 halftones, 3 line drawings 154 Cloth ISBN: 978-0-226-14982-0 $48.00

Maps of Paradise

Alessandro Scafi

“A highly readable yet deeply learned journey into how ‘humankind has yearned for a timeless elsewhere’, searching for ‘perfect bliss, remote either in time or in space.’”—History Today

“Enough verve for a wider audience yet enough scholarship for students and academics. . . . The result is a visually impressive and thought-provoking study showing how people perceived, situated, and mapped Eden over time.” —Historical Geography

How to Lie with Maps, Third Edition

Mark Monmonier

“A useful guide to a subject most people probably take too much for granted. It shows how mapmakers translate abstract data into eyecatching cartograms, as they are called. It combats cartographic illiteracy. It fights cartophobia. It may even teach you to find your way. For that alone it seems worthwhile.” —New York Times

2018 256 p. 51/2 x 81/2 16 color plates, 110 halftones 156 Paper ISBN: 978-0-226-43592-3 $22.50

A History of the Twentieth Century in 100 Maps

Tim Bryars and Tom Harper

“Charts the political and social upheavals of the last century by means of maps, digging below the functional surface to reveal how maps of the time reflected popular ideas, prejudices, and waves of progress. . . . The highly eclectic result serves in itself as a reminder of the myriad ways in which we see and interpret the world around us.”—Huffington Post
