The Art of Cartographics: Designing the Modern Map (Y)

The map reimagined: this stunning volume gathers the most beautiful, inspirational, and creatively designed maps from around the world.
 
Showcasing hand-drawn, painted, digital, 3D-sculpted, and folded maps, this unique collection celebrates the modern map, in all imaginable forms. The Art of Cartography invites readers on a journey across the globe—and beyond—through geographical maps, fictional maps, and innovative cultural, economic, and political maps. Charting themes that range from power, gentrification, and literature to animals, plants and food, they offer a slice of social history that is as striking as it is fascinating.

Jasmine Desclaux-Salachas is a cartographer, cartography teacher, doctoral student, and founder and director general of Les Cafés-cartographiques.
