248 Pages : pbk. 23 cm.

Key Points: Maps Are Not Neutral: Wood argues that maps are not passive or purely scientific.

Every decision—from what to include or exclude, to how features are symbolized—shapes the message the map conveys. Denis Wood Includes Index. Geography 912 WOO 9-780415096669 GCL 250829
