      ab: Part of a special section on quantitative geography. The writer discusses some visual approaches to understanding society, in particular, the view of “human cartography.” Using a series of examples, he argues that there is much more to mapping society than simply reinforcing an image of the status quo: There are a lot of people involved in alternative mapping, few of whom would see themselves as geographers. He concludes that before mapping is dismissed as a means to understanding, human geography should perhaps consider why mapping is now so popular, how mapping is changing, and the part geography could play in redrawing the world.
