Government Maps

by Tim Cooke

Book Overview

This book shows some of the ways geography is used in the political realm. In peacetime, governments use maps to chart land ownership, boundaries, and population distribution in order to ensure that public services are close and available to the people who need them. In war, strategists use maps to track the enemy and, often, as instruments of propaganda.
