Cartography Editorial Review

How to Lie with Maps, Third Edition is a highly recommended book for anyone interested in understanding how maps can be used to persuade, manipulate, and miscommunicate. The book provides valuable insights into the ways in which maps can mislead and deceive, much like How to Lie with Statistics. The author expertly demonstrates various methods of communication and practices to avoid in order to prevent miscommunication. Although the book is primarily focused on American-centric examples, this does not hinder its overall impact. The content is thought-provoking and offers a fresh perspective on maps and their potential manipulation. Even for those with a background in geography and mapping, the book still manages to uncover new insights. While the book is a valuable resource for cartographers and those interested in the subject matter, it is worth noting that the updated third edition appears to have limited updates compared to the original version. This may disappoint some readers who were expecting more substantial revisions. Overall, How to Lie with Maps, Third Edition is a fascinating read that sheds light on the deceptive power of maps and provides valuable lessons on effective communication.
