Mapping it Out: Expository Cartography for the Humanities & Social Sciences
by Mark Monmonier

Writers know only too well how long it can take - and how awkward it can be - to describe spatial relationships with words alone. And while a map might not always be worth a thousand words, a good one can help writers communicate an argument or explanation clearly, succinctly, and effectively. Mark Monmonier shows authors and scholars how they can use expository cartography - the visual, two-dimensional organization of information - to heighten the impact of their books and articles. Clearly written, and filled with real-world examples, this book demystifies map authorship for scholars in the humanities or social sciences, journalists, and authors of general nonfiction.
