New Editions<\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/a>The third edition of Mark Monmonier’s classic\u00a0How to Lie with Maps<\/em><\/strong><\/a> (University of Chicago Press<\/a>, 1o April) “includes significant updates throughout as well as new chapters on image maps, prohibitive cartography, and online maps. It also includes an expanded section of color images and an updated list of sources for further reading.” I reviewed the second edition<\/a> back in May 2006. Amazon<\/a>, iBooks<\/a><\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>The Phantom Atlas<\/em><\/strong><\/a>, Edward Brooke-Hitching’s book about fictitious places that were once presented as real places, came out in the U.K. in November 2016. Though North American buyers could get a copy via online sellers, a proper U.S. edition (Chronicle<\/a>, 3 April) is now available. The Wall Street Journal<\/em>, of all places, has a review<\/a>.

New in April<\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/a>Zayde Antrim’s\u00a0Mapping the Middle East<\/em><\/strong><\/a> (Reaktion<\/a>, 1 April) “explores the many perspectives from which people have visualized the vast area lying between the Atlantic Ocean and the Oxus and Indus river valleys over the past millennium. By analysing maps produced from the eleventh century on, Zayde Antrim emphasizes the deep roots of mapping in a world region too often considered unexamined and unchanging before the modern period. Indeed, maps from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, coinciding with the eras of European colonialism and the rise of the nation-state, have obscured this deeper past and constrained future possibilities.” Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Jeremy Black’s\u00a0Mapping Shakespeare: An Exploration of Shakespeare’s Worlds Through Maps<\/em><\/strong><\/a>\u00a0(Conway<\/a>, 10 April) “looks at the England, Europe, and wider world in which Shakespeare worked through maps and illustrations that reveal the way that he and his contemporaries saw their land and their place in the world. It also explores the locations of his plays and looks at the possible inspirations for these and why Shakespeare would have chosen to set his stories there.” Amazon<\/a>, iBooks<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The Art of Map Illustration: A Step-by-Step Artistic Exploration of Contemporary Cartography and Mapmaking<\/em><\/strong><\/a>\u00a0(Walter Foster<\/a>, 3 April), an illustrated guide featuring the work and method of four map illustrators (James Gulliver Hancock, Hennie Haworth, Stuart Hill and Sarah King), was reviewed on The Map Room<\/strong><\/a> earlier this month.
