Our world has innumerable boundaries, ranging from the obvious -
like an ocean - to subtle differences in language or climate. Most
of us cross invisible lines all the time, but don't stop to
consider them. In Invisible Lines, geographer Maxim Samson presents
30 such unseen boundaries, intriguing and unexpected examples of
the myriad ways in which we collectively engage with and experience
the world. From football hooligans in Buenos Aires to air quality
in China, Paris' banlieues to sub-Saharan Africa's Malaria Belt,
the existence - or perceived existence - of dividing lines has
manifold implications for people, wildlife, and places. Fully
illustrated with maps of each location, Invisible Lines reveals the
extraordinary ways in which we try to render the planet more
liveable and legible; a compelling guide to seeing and
understanding our world in all its consistency - and all its
messiness, too.
