Air Apparent. How Meteorologists Learned to Map, Predict, and Dramatize Weather

University Of Chicago Press, 2000. Paperback. Pp: 324. Weather maps have made our atmosphere visible, understandable, and at least moderately predictable. In Air Apparent Mark Monmonier traces debates among scientists eager to unravel the enigma of storms and global change, explains strategies for mapping the upper atmosphere and forecasting disaster, and discusses efforts to detect and control air pollution. Fascinating in its scope and detail, Air Apparent makes us take a second look at the weather map, an image that has been, and continues to be, central to our daily lives. ISBN: 9780226534237. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.

MONMONIER, MARK.

Bushmanders & Bullwinkles: How Politicians Manipulate Electronic Maps And Census Data To Win Elections.

University of Chicago Press, Chicago and London: 2001. Hardcover, no dustjacket. Good condition. For years Mark Monmonier, a prose stylist of no mean ability or charm according to the Washington Post, has delighted readers with his insightful understanding of cartography as an art and technology that is both deceptive and revealing. Now he turns his focus to the story of political cartography and the redrawing of congressional districts. His title Bushmanders and Bullwinkles combines gerrymander with the surname of the president who actively tolerated racial gerrymandering and draws attention to the ridiculously shaped congressional districts that evoke the antlers of the moose who shared the cartoon spotlight with Rocky the Flying Squirrel. Written from the perspective of a cartographer rather than a political scientist, Bushmanders and Bullwinkles examines the political tales maps tell when votes and power are at stake. Monmonier shows how redistricting committees carve out favorable election districts for themselves and their allies; how disgruntled politicians use shape to challenge alleged racial gerrymanders; and how geographic information systems can make reapportionment a controversial process with outrageous products. He also explores controversies over the proper roles of natural boundaries, media maps, census enumeration, and ethnic identity. Raising important questions about Supreme Court decisions in regulating redistricting, Monmonier asks if the focus on form rather than function may be little more than a distraction from larger issues like election reform. Characterized by the same wit and clarity as Monmonier's previous books, Bushmanders and Bullwinkles is essential background for understanding what might prove the most contentious political debate of the new decade. Includes an Index.

Coast Lines: How Mapmakers Frame the World and Chart Environmental Change [Coastlines].

Chicago University of Chicago Press, 2008. Hardback dustjacket, very good plus condition (in very good plus dustjacket), figures, maps, minor edgewear jacket. 228 pp. Rising sea levels pose serious challenges to all aspects of coastal existence - economic, residential, and environmental - but also to cartographic definition and the mapping of coasts. He sets sail on a journey across shifting landscapes, cartographic technology and climate change, and reveals that coastlines are as much a set of ideas, assumptions, and societal beliefs as they are solid black lines on maps. Coastlines challenge mapmakers to capture on paper a highly irregular land-water boundary perturbed by tides and storms and complicated by rocks, wrecks, and shoals. Peppered with captivating anecdotes about the frustrating effort to expunge fictitious islands from nautical charts, the tricky measurement of a coastline¹s length, and the contentious notions of beachfront property and public access.
