----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Wanted: Opinionated Maps In preparing a Master's thesis I'm researching ways in which maps have been used to present a particular point of view. While all representations are biased in one way or another, I'm looking for intentional bias. The classic example of this is the propaganda maps prepared during World War II, but I'm looking for recent maps as well, maps which use the elements of cartography to make an argument. This might be in the business world, with environmental concerns, in the political realm, and so on. They might come from informational brochures, direct mail or other sources. Of particular interest to me would be maps of the same area which support opposing views. If you know of such maps and could direct me to them or have copies which could be sent to me, I'd appreciate it a great deal. Thank-you, Peter Blanchard 6814 Chelsea St. Madison, WI 53719 ([log in to unmask])
