Rethinking the Power of Maps
ISBN: 9781593853662 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 335 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. A contemporary follow-up to the groundbreaking Power of Maps, this book takes a fresh look at what maps do, whose interests they serve, and how they can be used in surprising, creative, and radical ways. 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. Thought-provoking illustrations include U.S. Geological Survey maps; electoral and...

The Natures of Maps: Cartographic Constructions of the Natural World
ISBN: 9780226906041 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 231 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Cartographers have known for decades that maps are far from objective representations of the world; rather, every map reflects the agendas and intentions of its creators. Yet that understanding has had almost no effect on the way maps are viewed and used by the general public. In The Natures of Maps, cartographers Denis Wood and John Fels present a compelling exploration of a wide range of maps to answer the question of, as they put it, why maps have "gotten away with it."
To answer that question, the authors turn to a category of maps with a particularly strong reputation for... Cartographers have known for decades that maps are far from objective representations of the world; rather, every map reflects the agendas and intenti...

The Power of Maps
ISBN: 9780898624939 / Angielski / Miękka / 1992 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This volume ventures into terrain where even the most sophisticated map fails to lead--through the mapmaker's bias. Denis Wood shows how maps are not impartial reference objects, but rather instruments of communication, persuasion, and power. Like paintings, they express a point of view. By connecting us to a reality that could not exist in the absence of maps--a world of property lines and voting rights, taxation districts and enterprise zones--they embody and project the interests of their creators. Sampling the scope of maps available today, illustrations include Peter Gould's AIDS map,...

Weaponizing Maps: Indigenous Peoples and Counterinsurgency in the Americas
ISBN: 9781462519927 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Maps play an indispensable role in indigenous peoples' efforts to secure land rights in the Americas and beyond. Yet indigenous peoples did not invent participatory mapping techniques on their own; they appropriated them from techniques developed for colonial rule and counterinsurgency campaigns, and refined by anthropologists and geographers. Through a series of historical and contemporary examples from Nicaragua, Canada, and Mexico, this book explores the tension between military applications of participatory mapping and its use for political mobilization and advocacy. The authors analyze...
