These maps really underscore how many ways there are to view the world. They also remind me of Rebecca Solnit's
Infinite City, in which she explores my hometown of San Francisco in 22 unexpected maps and 19 really wonderful essays.
Check out the post on
brain pickings for a description and a few more striking image samples.
Oh, my - I may need this book. I love maps and it looks wonderful...(The first images immediately made me think of Infinite City too.)
