The map reimagined: this stunning volume gathers the most beautiful, inspirational, and creatively designed maps from around the world.

Showcasing hand-drawn, painted, digital, 3D-sculpted, and folded maps, this unique collection celebrates the modern map, in all imaginable forms. The Art of Cartography invites readers on a journey across the globe--and beyond--through geographical maps, fictional maps, and innovative cultural, economic, and political maps. Charting themes that range from power, gentrification, and literature to animals, plants and food, they offer a slice of social history that is as striking as it is fascinating.
