Maps tell us much more than where we are. POWER LINES by award-winning journalist Peter Keating is a fascinating exploration of the maps that have defined borders, influenced social policy, and enacted social change.
Each chapter takes you through a different map that changed history, spanning maps from The Cold War to gerrymandering, to The Bay of Pigs and Imperial Japan. With each striking image and story, POWER LINES offers a compelling reminder of maps’ historical and persuasive power, and why, in our current digital age, they remain important as ever.
POWER LINES is out May 12th and available to preorder wherever you buy books!
