How to Lie with Maps torrent

Not only is it easy to lie with maps, it's essential. To portray
meaningful relationships for a complex, three-dimensional
world on a flat sheet of paper or a video screen, a map must
distort reality. As a scale model, the map must use symbols
that almost always are proportionally much bigger or thicker
than the features they represent. To avoid hiding critical information
in a fog of detail, the map must offer a selective,
incomplete view of reality. There's no escape from the cartographic
paradox: to present a useful and truthful picture, an
accurate map must tell white lies.
