Bien souvent méconnues, elles n'en représentent pas moins autant d'étincelles susceptibles de mettre le feu aux poudres sur la scène internationale.

Summary:
This volume ventures into terrain where even the most sophisticated map fails to lead--through the mapmaker's bias. Denis Wood shows how maps are not impartial reference objects, but rather instruments of communication, persuasion, and power. Like paintings, they express a point of view. By connecting us to a reality that could not exist in the absence of maps--a world of property lines and voting rights, taxation districts and enterprise zones--they embody and project the interests of their creators. Sampling the scope of maps available today, illustrations include Peter Gould's AIDS map, Tom Van Sant's map of the earth, U.S. Geological Survey maps, and a child's drawing of the world.

Summary:
Demonstrating how cartography is a valuable instrument for urban research, this cartographic book reveals the impact of infrastructure on a region's development in an original manner. Bieke Cattoor has mapped and analysed the roads, railways and communications network of Belgium's Kortrijk region, overlaying them with historical and topical information. With this perspective, the varied elements in an infrastructural network are clarified, and Cattoor identifies how roads and railways form related patterns and lead to nodes. The book reveals the complexity of our layered urban landscape with a new and simple representational method, and suggests how this method can be deployed in urban research as a whole.
