Maps with the News is a lively assessment of the role of cartography
in American journalism. Tracing the use of maps in American news
reporting from the eighteenth century to the 1980s, Mark Monmonier
explores why and how journalistic maps have achieved such importance.

educators.--W. G. V. Balchin, Geographical Journal
