Seeing Through Maps
Views of the world from different perspectives

This book explains the principles behind the Peters Projection and a dozen other unique maps and provocative images. It includes over 70 maps and illustrations: Van Sant, Fuller Dymaxion, even Minard's map of Napoleon's march on Moscow, and routes of African Slave Trading (Petit's African Diaspora map). It also includes a redrawing of Mercator's original world map (unavailable since the 1950's), plus the first authorized publication of the original McArthur Universal Corrective map of the world.

It is a book designed to reveal the 'hidden agenda' of maps.

But it is a book about far more than cartography. It shows how we can understand the world, and each other, much more fully if we're willing to see things from a number of different perspectives. Map projections are used as a metaphor for seeing the world from different points of view (other countries, other cultures, other peoples and other times).

215 x 280 mm, 153 pages, paperback.
