Omschrijving
Covering shifting landscapes, cartographic technology, and climate change, this book reveals that coastlines are as much a set of ideas, assumptions, and societal beliefs as they are solid black lines on maps. It charts the historical progression from offshore sketches to satellite images.
"Monmonier has taken the most assumed and invisible part of a map and made it jump from the page as a multifaceted and complex feature of interest and importance to all. I have enjoyed all of Monmonier's books, and I am particularly happy to have him play the role of cartographic world diplomat, as he does such an outstanding job of it. Coast Lines is no exception." - Keith C. Clarke, University of California, Santa Barbara"
Mark Monmonier is distinguished professor of geography at Syracuse University's Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs and the author of many books, including, most recently, From Squaw Tit to Whorehouse Meadow, also published by the University of Chicago Press.
