Abysmal : a critique of cartographic reason

"Geographer Gunnar Olsson offers in Abysmal a critique of the way human thought and action have become deeply immersed in the rhetoric of cartography and how this cartographic reasoning allows the powerful to map out other people's lives. Abysmal will appeal to an eclectic audience - to geographers and cartographers, but also to anyone interested in the history of ideas, culture, and art."--Jacket
