Radical Cartography

Radical Cartography invites us to look at maps not just as navigation tools, but as powerful shapers of how we see the world. Cartographer and historian William Rankin shows that maps are never neutral, they decide what’s highlighted, what’s hidden, and whose voices come through.

Filled with bold, imaginative maps, this book explores how choices around boundaries, colour, scale, and perspective influence everything from city planning to how we learn about history and place. Rankin champions new values for mapmaking, uncertainty, multiplicity, and subjectivity, encouraging us to question the assumptions baked into the maps we use every day.

A brilliant pick for design lovers, map nerds, and anyone curious about how visual tools shape our reality.
