Description: "Maps tell us as much about the people and the powers which create them, as about the places they show. Mapping: Ways of Representing the World, presents historical and contemporary evidence of how the human urge to describe, understand and control the world is presented through the medium of maps, together with the individual and environmental constraints on the creator of the map."--Jacket.
