The map is a central element of our visual culture. It has also
been a vital representation technology in many scholarly
disciplines for hundreds of years, as well as a practical tool for
navigation and a means for the government of territory. But, as the
editor of this new four-volume collection from Routledge explains,
the rhetorical power and technical complexity of how maps work are
relatively underappreciated and not well analysed across the social
sciences and beyond. Now, to enable researchers and advanced
students to make better sense of a vast corpus of scholarship,
Mapping brings together all the important literature in a
comprehensive and coherently edited compendium. The carefully
selected texts demonstrate how cartography works as a powerful
representational form; they also explore how different mapping
practices have been conceptualized. The four volumes are structured
by theme-including 'definitions and paradigms'; 'design and
communication'; 'technologies and techniques'; and 'people and
politics'-and the gathered materials include major works from
leading cartographers, as well as classic and cutting-edge pieces
from scholars and researchers in cognate subject areas.
