The book is a cartographic journey, charting the influence of Roman city planning, Saxon feudalism, Medieval tumult, imperial hubris, contemporary town planning and more on this great metropolis. In this comprehensive survey the maps are allowed to speak for themselves, revealing not only their political and social context, but also the dreams of their makers and the drama of their creation. Often these maps are objects of great skill and beauty and the names of the greatest of their makers are still revered today. A lavishly illustrated hardback book, Mapping London explores the city through the ages in all its labyrinthine glory.

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.

Résumé:
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.

Résumé:
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.

Produced predominantly in the nineteenth century, these maps emerged out of the tide of exploration and scientific developments in measuring techniques. Beginning with the work of explorer Alexander von Humboldt, these historic drawings reveal a world of artistic and imaginative difference. Many of them give way—and with visible joy—to the power of fantasy in a mesmerizing array of realistic and imaginary forms. Most of the maps are from the David Rumsey Historical Map Collection at Stanford University.
