As seen in O: The Oprah Magazine, the New York Times Book Review, USA Today, Cool Hunting, and countless other media outlets, The Map as Art is available now in a paperback edition. This volume by Katharine Harmon, author of our best-selling book You Are Here, extends that book's celebration of mapmaking to the world of artists' maps.
It is little surprise that in an era of globalized politics, culture, and ecology contemporary artists are drawn to maps to express their visions. Using paint, salt, souvenir tea towels, or their own bodies, map artists explore a world free of geographical constraints. In The Map as Art, Harmon collects 360 colorful, map-related artistic visions by well-known artists—such as Ed Ruscha, Julian Schnabel, Olafur Eliasson, William Kentridge, and Vik Muniz—and many more less-familiar artists for whom maps are the inspiration for creating art. Essays by Gayle Clemans bring an in-depth look into the artists' maps of Joyce Kozloff, Landon Mackenzie, Ingrid Calame, Guillermo Kuitca, and Maya Lin. Together, the beautiful reproductions and telling commentary make this an essential volume for anyone open to exploring new paths.

《"非科学"的中国传统舆图:中国传统舆图绘制研究》内容有：《元和郡县图志》《太平寰宇记》和《元丰九域志》中的“四至八到”；明清方志中的“四至八到”；“制图六体”在中国地图绘制史中影响力的分析；对“计里画方”在中国地图绘制史中地位的重新评价；宋元方志中所记“四至八到”的性质等。

Over the past four decades, the volumes published in the landmark History of Cartography series have both chronicled and encouraged scholarship about maps and mapping practices across time and space. As the current director of the project that has produced these volumes, Matthew H. Edney has a unique vantage point for understanding what “cartography” has come to mean and include.
In this book Edney disavows the term cartography, rejecting the notion that maps represent an undifferentiated category of objects for study. Rather than treating maps as a single, unified group, he argues, scholars need to take a processual approach that examines specific types of maps—sea charts versus thematic maps, for example—in the context of the unique circumstances of their production, circulation, and consumption. To illuminate this bold argument, Edney chronicles precisely how the ideal of cartography that has developed in the West since 1800 has gone astray. By exposing the flaws in this ideal, his book challenges everyone who studies maps and mapping practices to reexamine their approach to the topic. The study of cartography will never be the same.

～130幅城市復原圖，重現古文明全景～
眺望城市復原圖，我們看見了時間，又超越了時間。
以地中海沿岸為中心，九大地域，八十八座城市復原圖，
獻給歷史繼承者的「古城市之詩」。
若我們思考存在，試圖定位現在於時空之間的座標、刻劃置身的方位時，
這些復原圖便成為羅盤，帶領我們從蒙昧中，重新睜開雙眼。
重新認識古建築是一種挑戰。
尚．克勞德．高爾文運用素描的才華、建築與考古學的知識，實現了這個構想。
他拼湊遺跡散落的線索，一筆一筆，力圖恢復文明的原貌，使其再次獲得生命。
在亞爾古代博物館中，人們透過他的畫作，
通向千年之前的土地，回訪令人屏息的歷史城市，
作畫與看畫的過程，打通了一條穿越之路，
古文明的巨夢得以在人們的內心延續。
偉大的城市並不只存在於歷史，
它建構的同時，也預言著對後世的影響。
書中的一三〇幅城市復原圖，幅幅集考古、地質、歷史、文明研究之大成，
是橫跨好幾世紀的挖掘、調查與不輟思考的成果。
從【金字形神】塔到【埃及金字塔】……
從【帕德嫩神廟】到【巴勒貝克神殿】……
從【羅馬的中心地帶】到【盧泰西亞】……
透過畫作，我們在地質、建築、藝術、幾何甚至哲學凝聚而成的理想城市中悠悠漫步，
也可說，祖先們對存在的追尋，從黑暗中賦歸，
筆直地朝我們走來，指引著創造嶄新的理想時代。
凝視復原圖，我們能理解古希臘、羅馬、埃及等城市背後的歷史，與建築本身的抱負。
若你對歷史、人類的遺產懷抱敬意，跟隨畫作，俯視古文明盛世，
或許能在現實的邊陲之外，推展出不同於往的視野與疆界。
