An instant classic when first published in 1991, How to Lie with
Maps revealed how the choices mapmakers make--consciously or
unconsciously--mean that every map inevitably presents only one of
many possible stories about the places it depicts. The principles
Mark Monmonier outlined back then remain true today, despite
significant technological changes in the making and use of maps.
The introduction and spread of digital maps and mapping software,
however, have added new wrinkles to the ever-evolving landscape of
modern mapmaking. Fully updated for the digital age, this new
edition of How to Lie with Maps examines the myriad ways that
technology offers new opportunities for cartographic mischief,
deception, and propaganda. While retaining the same brevity, range,
and humor as its predecessors, this third edition includes
significant updates throughout as well as new chapters on image
maps, prohibitive cartography, and online maps. It also includes an
expanded section of color images and an updated list of sources for
further reading.
