Maps are Territories
Science is an atlas

David Turnbull analyses maps both as a metaphor for knowledge and as a means of representing knowledge. This book was first published in 1989, a time when no expense was spared in presentation and graphics. The analysis and case studies are timeless and illuminating. They provide an exceptional insight into the function and meaning of maps.

Produced by the School of Humanities at Deakin University, it provides a comprehensive global perspective together with Australian insights. Fascinating examples cited are as varied as the London Underground, petroglyphs from 2500 BC, carved wooden coastal charts by Greenland Inuit, and an interpretation of Australian Aboriginal bark paintings as maps of social organization.

245 x 220 mm, 66 pages, paperback.
