Charting power
Article Abstract:
Maps have exerted great influence on human society. In ideal form, they present vital information in a form that is understandable to its readers. However, many modern maps have lost sight of this function. The decline is ascribed to an increasing dependence on technology to do a job that was originally done by three or more members of a team. The relationship between cartographers and designers is also analyzed, as how they resolve the conflicts between the mandates of their disciplines determines the nature of the information eventually included in the map.
