Some maps help us find our way; others restrict where we go and what we do. These maps control behavior, regulating activities from flying to fishing, prohibiting students from one part of town from being schooled on the other, and banishing certain individuals and industries to the periphery. This title tackles this aspect of mapping.
No Dig, No Fly, No Go: How Maps Restrict and Control, by Mark Monmonier, demonstrates how much the concept of the boundary, and therefore the power of prohibitive mapping, influences our daily lives in examples ranging from the home ownership to voting, from car insurance to fishing, from prohibiting students going to school in particular places to banishing certain industries and individuals to the periphery of society, and from settling the American West to claiming slices of Antarctica.
