The Natures of Maps: Cartographic Constructions of the Natural World
ISBN: 9780226906041 / Angielski / Twarda / 231 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 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...
