This book examines contemporary urban sharing mobilities, such as
shared and public forms of everyday urban mobility. Tracing the
social and economic history of sharing mobilities and examining
contemporary case studies of mobility sharing services, such as
Car2go, BlaBlaCar, and Uber, the authors raise questions about what
these changes mean for access to and engagement with the public
spaces of transport in the city. Drawing on the thought of
Lefebvre, the book considers how contemporary sharing mobilities
are affecting people's 'right to the city', with particular
attention paid to the privatised, frictionless practices of
movement through the city. In addition, the authors ask what has
happened to earlier forms of shared mobility and illustrate how
some of these practices continue successfully today. Considering
the potential that modern incarnations of shared mobilities offer
to urban citizens for engaging in meaningful shared mobilities that
are not simply determined by the interfaces of technology and
market forces, this book will appeal to sociologists and
geographers with interests in mobility and urban studies.
Maps go far beyond just showing us where things are located. All
Mapped Out is an exploration of how maps impact our lives on social
and cultural levels. This book takes you on a journey through the
fascinating history of maps, from ancient cave paintings and stone
carvings to the digital interfaces we rely on today. But it’s not
just about the maps themselves; it’s about the people behind
them. Discover how maps have affected societies, influenced
politics and economies, impacted the environment, and even shaped
our sense of personal identity. Mike Duggan uncovers the incredible
power of maps to shape the world and the knowledge we consume. This
is a unique and eye-opening perspective on the significance of maps
in our daily lives.

New Directions in Radical Cartography looks at the contemporary
debates about the role of maps in society. It explores the
emergence of counter-mapping as a distinctive field of practice,
and the impact that digital mapping technologies have had on
cartographic practice and theory. It includes original research,
accounts of mapping projects and detailed readings of maps. The
contributors explore how digital mapping technologies have
sponsored a new wave of practices that seek to challenge the power
that maps are commonly assumed to have. They document the continued
vitality of analogue maps in the hands of artists and activists who
are pushing the boundaries of what is mappable in different ways.
New Directions in Radical Cartography draws on a rich body of
mapping work that exists as part of community action, urban
ethnography, environmental activism, humanitarianism, and public
engagement.
