Artist and creative cartographer Adam Dant dissects Manhattan in an anatomical diagram, traces the form of a Picasso nude in the streets of Monaco, and transforms the crisscrossing paths of boats on the Bosporus into the nerves of Istanbul.

Résumé:
An Atlas of Agendas is a political, social and economic atlas: informing the public about socio-political power structures and activating opportunities for the self and the commons. The French research and design group Bureau d´Études has been producing maps of contemporary political, social and economic systems that allow people to inform, reposition and empower themselves. Revealing what normally remains invisible, often in the shape of large-sized banners, and contextualizing apparently separate elements within new frameworks, these visualizations of interests and relations re-articulate the dominant symbolic order and actualize existing structures that otherwise remain concealed and unknown. This large-size hardcover book, panoramic in scope and theoretically both profound and accessible, is THE atlas for an emancipatory new citizenship that utilizes the opportunities of info-graphics from the local to the global and back again.

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.

Résumé:
This is the first book to catalog comparative maps and tableaux that visualize the heights and lengths of the world's mountains and rivers. 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.
