The Sovereign Map by Christian Jacob
A novel work in the history of cartography, this book argues that maps are as much about thinking as seeing, as much about the art of persuasion as the science of geography. It is innovative in its philosophical motivation and its interdisciplinary approach to looking at and writing about maps.
