À l'origine, il y a Paris. Et un flâneur infatigable qui explore ses deux rives depuis des années. De cette expérience amoureuse, il a distillé au fil des jours 100 cartes incongrues. Sur chacune se dessine une vision : on y découvre ainsi toutes les rues depuis lesquelles on peut apercevoir la Tour Eiffel, celles où les barricades avaient été installées lors de la Commune de 1871, les quartiers définis selon la provenance de l'eau dans votre robinet, les îles disparues que l'on trouvait autrefois sur la Seine, le trajet du premier vol habité (en montgolfière)... Cet "Atlas inutile" est une invitation graphique à un voyage poétique, à la rencontre de choses oubliées, et d'autres qui sont sous notre nez sans qu'on y prête attention. Les cartes se succèdent et s'accumulent dans un plaisir du détail, de l'anecdote et de la contemplation, enfin dans une balade à travers l'inutile, à la (re)découverte d'une ville cent fois immense.

Summary:
Featuring 40 essays by U.S. and European historians, designers, cultural critics, geographers and social scientists, illustrated with over 250 color images in extensive visual "gazetteers" — including specially-commissioned portfolios by artists and designers — "Else/where mapping" investigates : how new technologies of navigation and location are emerging to chart "virtual" terrain such as social networks and online conversations; how these new mapping strategies borrow and reinvent metaphors adapted from the cartography of physical terrain, considered at various scales — urban, regional, continental, global ; how new modes of representation of spatial data are evolving to explore the potential for collective "bottom-up" (rather than "top-down") mapping ; how cities, communities and social networks are being re-envisioned, as artists and designers use technologies such as GPS, GIS and digital interface design to devise alternative mappings of social and spatial relationships. Authors : Janet Abrams, Ole Bouman, Andrea Codrington, Denis Cosgrove, Steve Dietz, Paul Elliman, Yuri Engelhardt, Peter Hall, Brian Holmes, J.J. King, Cathy Lang Ho, Andrea Moed, David Pescovitz, Rebecca Ross, Ben Schouten, Alex Terzich, Alice Twemlow, Dirk van Weelden, Tom Vanderbilt, Peter Walsh and Stephen Zacks.

Summary:
Instructive, amusing, colorful—pictorial maps have been used and admired since the first medieval cartographer put pen to paper depicting mountains and trees across countries, people and objects around margins, and sea monsters in oceans. More recent generations of pictorial map artists have continued that traditional mixture of whimsy and fact, combining cartographic elements with text and images and featuring bold and arresting designs, bright and cheerful colors, and lively detail. In the United States, the art form flourished from the 1920s through the 1970s, when thousands of innovative maps were mass-produced for use as advertisements and decorative objects—the golden age of American pictorial maps. "Picturing America" is the first book to showcase this vivid and popular genre of maps. Geographer Stephen J. Hornsby gathers together 158 delightful pictorial jewels, most drawn from the extensive collections of the Library of Congress. In his informative introduction, Hornsby outlines the development of the cartographic form, identifies several representative artists, describes the process of creating a pictorial map, and considers the significance of the form in the history of Western cartography. Organized into six thematic sections, "Picturing America" covers a vast swath of the pictorial map tradition during its golden age, ranging from “Maps to Amuse” to “Maps for War.” Hornsby has unearthed the most fascinating and visually striking maps the United States has to offer: Disney cartoon maps, college campus maps, kooky state tourism ads, World War II promotional posters, and many more.

Summary:
It is perhaps the eighth wonder of our world that despite modern mapping and satellite photography our planet continues to surprise us. Hidden lairs beneath layers of rock, forgotten cities rising out of deserted lands and even mankind's own feats of engineering eccentricity lie in the most unusual of destinations. Travis Elborough goes in search of the obscure and bizarre, the beautiful and estranged. Taking in the defiant relics of ancient cities such as Ani, a once thriving metropolis lost to conquered lands, and the church tower of San Juan Parangaricuto, that miraculously stands as the sole survivor of a town sunk by lava. Through the labyrinths of Berlin and Beijing - underground realms dug for refuge, espionage and even, as Canada's Moose Jaw, used as the playground for gangsters trading liquor and money over cards. Never forgetting the freaks and wonders of nature's own unusual masterpieces: the magical underground river shaped like a dragon's mouth in the Philippines and the floating world of Palmerston. With beautiful maps and stunning photography illustrating each destination, Atlas of Improbable Places is a fascinating voyage to the world's most incredible destinations. As the Island of Dolls and the hauntingly titled Door to Hell - an inextinguishable fire pit - attest, mystery is never far away. The truths and myths behind their creation are as varied as the destinations themselves. Standing as symbols of worship, testaments to kingships or even the strange and wonderful traditions of old and new, these curious places are not just extraordinary sights but reflections on man's own relationship with the world around us
