Cartographics - Designing the Modern Map is a collection of maps that tread off the beaten path of mapmaking and redefine

exactly what a map can do. Two sections, Mapping the Physical Environment and Mapping Human Activity, feature maps that depict a wide variety of themes; some incorporate strategies from infographics, such as one that uses abstract depictions of public transportation lines, while others use traditional strategies to explore contemporary subjects such as geopolitical maps of fictional countries in video games and others.
