Map Studies Manifesto

The complete manuscript of our edited book Rethinking Maps has now been submitted to the publisher Routledge. A draft of the concluding chapter titled 'Mapping modes, methods and moments: a manifesto for map studies' is now available online. The book's introductory chapter is also online. Feedback is welcome.

The image left is our idea for the book cover using the concept of the 'blank map' from Lewis Carroll's poem Hunting of the Snark. Not sure if we can persuade Routledge to go with as the cover, we shall see.

Hopefully the book will be in bookshops by mid 2009.
