I apologize if this has been posted before.
For those of you who have speakers on your computer:
Check out the September 4, 1998 (Episode 110) of "This American
Life."
"Mapping"
" Five ways to map the world. We bring you five stories
-- one about people who who map the world the
traditional way - by drawing maps of things you can
see. The other stories are about people who map the
world using smell, sound, touch, and taste. The world
re-drawn, by the five senses.
See more of Denis Woods' maps of Boylan
Heights, mentioned in his interview on this
show.
* A map of Boylan Heights' power grid, and
text from Denis' book explaining the map.
* A map of Boylan Heights' underground
(includes gas, sewer and water lines -- Denis:
"it's part of what you would see if you looked
through the surface of the earth.").
* A map showing all of Boylan Heights' trees.
* A map of all the street signs in Boylan
Heights (Denis: "Street signs exist where
strangers drive.")
* Also, check out Denis's book, The Power of
Maps."
