Synopsis
'A provocative and surprising study of maps and mapping. In this journey, we encounter maps scratched onto rocks and materializing on plasma screens, maps made of words and sounds, and even maps meant to be seen by the eyes of self-driving cars rather than of humans.' - Veronica della Dora, author of Where Light in Darkness Lies: The Story of the Lighthouse
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.
