This Way Up
When Maps Go Wrong (and Why It Matters)
Authors
More about the book
Hello, we're the Map Men, and in the following pages we've selected what we believe to be some of the very best wrong maps. Some of them are decades old, some are centuries old and some are so recent they're being published today (or yesterday, if you're reading this tomorrow). They include world maps, colonial maps, corporate maps, Soviet maps, pioneer maps, news maps and maps whose intended use was hijacked for a French surrealist political movement in the 1950s. So, ditch the compass (or disable location services) and set out on a journey with us into a world of cartographic chaos and mappy mishaps. Because the worst maps are the best maps.
