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.

"You are here: NYC" assembles some two hundred maps charting every inch and facet of the five boroughs, depicting New Yorks of past and present, and a city that never was. "A nightclub map of Harlem" traces a boozy night from the Radium and the Cotton Club to the Savoy and then the Lafayette; "Wonders of New York" pinpoints three hundred sites of interest, including the alleged location of Captain Kidd's buried treasure; the Ghostbusters subway map plots the route from Astral Projections Place to Stay Puft Street; and a rejected proposal of ornate topiaries illustrates a Central Park that might have been. This sequel to the best-selling You Are Here includes original essays by Bob Mankoff, Maria Popova, Sarah Boxer, and Rebecca Cooper, among others.

Summary:
Ce livre raconte l’exploration d’une terre inconnue, la nôtre. À la suite des voyageurs de la Renaissance partis cartographier les terra incognita du Nouveau Monde, « Terra Forma » propose, cinq siècles plus tard, de découvrir une autre Terre, ou plutôt de redécouvrir autrement celle que nous croyons si bien connaître en partant du constat que si les transformations récentes des conditions d’habitabilité du monde sont si difficiles à percevoir, c’est parce que les représentations disponibles sont trop abstraites, lointaines, et dans une certaine mesure trop stables. En proposant une extension du vocabulaire cartographique, ce livre est un manifeste pour l’imagination géographique, et, ce faisant, politique. Si certains des phénomènes auxquels nous assistons (érosion des sols, épuisement des ressources, accélération des espaces-temps urbains, intensification des zones polluées) nous échappent par leur échelle, leur durée, leur ampleur, c’est par le développement de nos techniques de représentation que l’on peut espérer mieux les comprendre. En mettant en « cartes » certaines propositions des sciences du Système-Terre et de la pensée écologique contemporaine, « Terra Forma » permet de mieux saisir leur portée politique.

Summary:
Many people have a love of maps. But what lies behind the process of map-making? How have cartographers through the centuries developed their craft and established a language of maps which helps them to better represent our world and help users to understand it? This book tells the story of how widely accepted mapping conventions originated and evolved—from map orientation, projections, typography, and scale, to the use of color, symbols, ways of representing relief, and the treatment of boundaries and place names. It charts the fascinating story of how conventions have changed in response to new technologies and ever-changing mapping requirements, how symbols can be a matter of life or death, why universal acceptance of conventions can be difficult to achieve, and how new mapping conventions are developing to meet the needs of modern cartography. "Why North is Up" offers a guide to the sometimes hidden techniques of map-making through the centuries.
