Mapping Globalization

This book explores the meaning of globalization by examining how the world has been depicted through maps. It discusses maps as complex abstractions of reality, data storage devices, and cultural artifacts. The author examines various aspects of globalization, such as selective representation, the emphasis and omissions in maps, and the messages conveyed about the current patterns of globalization. The book also compares different map projections and their implications for understanding globalization.
