Summary:
In the late nineteenth century, Charles Booth’s landmark social and economic survey found that 35 percent of Londoners were living in abject poverty. Booth’s team of social investigators interviewed Londoners from all walks of life, recording their comments, together with their own unrestrained remarks and statistical information, in 450 notebooks. Their findings formed the basis of Booth’s colour-coded social mapping (from vicious and semi-criminal to wealthy) and his seventeen-volume survey "Inquiry into the Life and Labour of the People of London, 1886–1903". Organized into six geographical sections, "Charles Booth’s London poverty map"s presents the hand-coloured preparatory and printed social mapping of London. Accompanying the maps are reproductions of pages from the original notebooks, containing anecdotes and observations too judgmental for Booth to include in his final published survey. An introduction by professor Mary S. Morgan clarifies the aims and methodology of Booth’s survey and six themed essays contextualize the the survey’s findings, accompanied by evocative period photographs.

Summary:
Dans l'univers sans fin des cartes, les cartes d'îles possèdent un charme tout particulier. Les deux mondes, des cartes et des îles, s'y croisent, laissant émerger des formes riches et colorées. Cinq artistes, collectionneurs, chercheurs ont formé le collectif Stevenson pour en explorer et en célébrer les beautés, les incongruités, les fantaisies autant que la précision et la finesse. De la mise en commun de leurs trésors cartographiques chinés, dénichés, inhumés et patiemment amassés, est né Mappa insulae. Les îles s'y montrent parfois dans leur isolement absolu, cerclées d'une épaisseur bleue qui les sépare du reste du monde ; parfois en archipel, éparpillées "comme autant de pépins crachés dans l'eau" ; parfois encore simplement suggérées, récifs tapis sous des noms calligraphiés sur les flots. De carte en carte, d'île en île, de pensées en poèmes, nous voilà embarqués pour une traversée érudite et insolite.

Summary:
Memories carried by water drench our biographies and shared history. In this book, edited and curated by Moniek Driesse, the past, present, and future imaginaries that govern our relationship with water are permitted to draw maps that can serve as tools for urban administrators, researchers, and citizens who live the reality determined by them. With this approach, long-term memories carried by the urban landscape reflect into possible narratives of hope for the future. The focus is on Mexico City, where rivers have turned into highways and subterranean basins are drying out, presenting new dangers to the city.

Carried out by designers Moniek Driesse and Annelys de Vet, along with Analía Solomonoff, the Subjective Atlas of Mexico is part of a series of previous subjective atlases where a varied group of artists, designers and photographers who choose personal topics as a starting point to map their cultural identity. Each were asked: what makes a Mexican? what are our likenesses and what differences do we share? Through its pages the scope of Mexico as a country limited by its borders and its latitudes suddenly vanishes and everyday practices take on new meaning. We can find Mexico reflected in the world, and the world reflected in Mexico. A DVD is included.

Fifty young visual authors were invited by new media lab Kitchen and Dutch designer Annelys de Vet to put their homeland in perspective. Together they shed light on the Hungarian spirit, today, from the most characteristic vernacular buildings to waterside houses and recycled fences, from wine spritzer and salty sticks to vegetable gardens and sold-out products.

Summary:
In "Beyond the Map", Bonnett presents stories of the world’s most extraordinary spaces—many unmarked on any official map—all of which challenge our assumptions about what we know—or think we know—about our world. As cultural, religious and political boundaries ebb and flow with each passing day, traditional maps unravel and fragment. With the same adventurous spirit he effused in the acclaimed Unruly Places, Bonnett takes us to thirty-nine incredible spots around the globe to explore these changing boundaries and stimulate our geographical imagination. Some are tied to disruptive contemporary political turbulence, such as the rise of ISIL, Russia’s incursions into Ukraine and the Brexit vote in the United Kingdom. Others explore the secret places not shown on Google Earth or reflect fast-changing landscapes.
