Book Synopsis The New Nature of Maps by : J. B. Harley
Book excerpt: In these essays the author draws on ideas in art history, literature, philosophy and the study of visual culture to subvert the traditional 'positivist' model of cartography and replace it with one grounded in an iconological and semiotic theory of the nature of maps.
